Blasting operations are commonly realised in open-pit mining at the production phase. There are many factors that affect the distribution of particle size of the pile which is formed as a result of blasting operation. The most important of these factors are type of explosives, blasting design and the geological structure. Particularly, parameters such as filling material between discontiunities, joint space observed in the blast face are effective in the pile size distrubution which occured after blasting. Common result of approaches that analyzed rock mass properties; characteristics of rock discontinuities influence the blast result. Various classification methods to make identification of discontinuities are available. In this study, an 11 blast experiments were performed in an aggregate quarry which is located Işi{dotless}kkent. The relationship between mean fragment size of the blast pile and geological strength Index (GSI) which make the classification and assesment of geological properties of discontiunity have been investigated.
