... ABSTRACT: This paper presents a rock-slope kinematic analysis using a robust workflow that combines geologic reconnaissance with UAV-based photogrammetric methods. The photogrammetric workflow generates high-density, georeferenced, three-dimensional point clouds in true-color, enabling us...

... that overall slope angle of ~50° and bench slope of ~60° were required to maintain stable pit slopes. Kinematic analysis with DIPS 5.1 software found the hanging wall to be threatened mostly by wedge failure, with less potential for planar and toppling failures. 1. INTRODUCTION metals & mining...

... analysis. Stereonets are widely used to carry out kinematic analysis for rock slopes. The stereonet-based method provides qualitative solutions and is dependent on the presence of tight clusters of discontinuities for which representative orientation values can be assigned. In addition, the stereonet-based...
