Longtemps remise en cause pour des problèmes de vibration ou de granulométrie, les tirs en plusieurs rangées présentent en fait un intérêt économique assez marqué. L'accroissement de la taille du tir conduit à une réduction des temps improductifs des matériels et du personnel en aval.(...) En outre, la première rangée constituant un écran aux projections, on peut améliorer la fragmentation sans risque et donc faciliter les opérations en aval. Une augmentation légère de la consommation d’explosif améliore l'efficacité sans risque supplémentaire. Enfin, les tirs en masse permettent un meilleur étalement du tas. 1, record 2, French, - tir%20en%20plusieurs%20rang%C3%A9es
