The International Symposium on Rock Fragmentation by Blasting (FRAGBLAST) is a key international forum for sharing the state of the art in rock blasting and explosives engineering. It aims at promoting the understanding of explosive-rock interaction in all aspects and the exchange of research and field experience in rock blasting. Beginning in 1983, the FRAGBLAST symposia have been held in Sweden (1983 & 2018), USA（1986）, Australia (1990 & 2015), Austria（1993）, Canada（1996）, South Africa（1999）, China (2002), Chile（2005）, Spain（2009） and India（2012）, contributing an unparalleled combination of scientific advances and practical applications.
