a. According to Singh [62], prior to the use of FRHI, it is necessary to proceed to the evaluation of the rock slope stability using the formerly proposed VRFSR system. Rock mass classification has been applied successfully in tunneling and underground mining (Q, RMR and MRMR systems).
Slope stability is assessed in the Kentobe open pit barite mine located in the east of the Atasui ore province. The estimated characteristics of rock mass strength are evaluated using two techniques: by VNIMI procedure and in RockLab environment. Slope stability assessment involved a computer program developed at the Karaganda State …
The stability of rock slopes in open-pit mine and quarry operations is extremely important from both economic and safety points of view because unstable slopes can result in the loss of human life and …
Open-pit mine is a mining method by excavating overburden strata to get coal seam near the surface. One of potential hazard often occur in mining area is slope failure.
Abstract—Slope stability is assessed in the Kentobe open pit barite mine located in the east of the Atasui ore province. The estimated characteristics of rock mass strength are evaluated using two techniques: by VNIMI procedure and in RockLab environment.
Mining and Quarrying: The angle of repose is crucial in mining and quarrying operations to determine the stability and safe slope angles for excavated materials such as ores, coal, minerals, and aggregates. Construction and Civil Engineering: In construction, the angle of repose is important for designing slopes, embankments, and …

A comprehensive slope stability project was carried out at Baskoyak barite open pit mine, in western Anatolia between 1987 and 1988 by Ulusay and Yucel [18]. Based on the scanline surveys and a geotechnical borehole, it was reported that the schist should be regarded as comprising two types of rock mass [18].
The stability of the slope is a factor that directly affects the mining efficiency and the safety of the entire mining process. According to statistics, there is a 15 percent chance of finding ...
Real-time, remote sensing methods were introduced to open cut mining with slope stability radar in the late-1990s (Reeves et al. 2001 (2017). Nine months prior to the failure, in June 2012 ...
BARITE – TRALMEC Iglesias – Sardegna. It operates several mining concessions, including three barite mines and one iron oxide mine.Mining activities include both underground and open-cast mining. » Free Online Chat EFFECTS OF FAULTS ON STABILITY OF SLOPES IN OPEN CAST MINES. This is to certify that the thesis entitled …
Coal mine waste rock is generated during coal extraction and is usually disposed of in non-engineered dumps. The dumps are extended vertically to 100–120 m height to reduce the spatial footprint. The waste mass generally consists of loose, cohesionless material associated with high heterogeneity, so the dumps are prone to …
Probability analysis of rock slopes has gained considerable attention in the design of open pit mines (e.g., [1,2,3,4,5,6]).The unavoidable uncertainties involved in geotechnical design parameters …
