... stability indicated that deep slope instability was not expected with the removal of the crown pillar. Nonetheless, further analyses demonstrated that there were advantages to recovering the crown pillar from the underground; economic evaluations showed that resource recovery could be increased which made...

.... One aspect of the geotechnical design and implementation process which still remains highly subjective and has not been effectively standardized across the industry is methodologies to apply when forensically assessing pit slope instabilities or failures. The authors propose a set of guidelines...

... ABSTRACT ABSTRACT This paper is based on the collection of geotechnical and mining data relating to slope instabilities in British surface coal mines over a period of seven years. This research programme aims to develop a statistical approach to assess slope stability in British surface coal...

... ABSTRACT: Rock Slope Engineering Practice dictates that the design of any rock cut adhers to two basic requirements. First, that the rock cut be stable and that no major slope instability occurs during its design life. Second, any rock fall from the cut should not endanger facilities...

... ground accelerations and their associated probabilities are then used in a Monte Carlo stability analysis to generate curves which approximate the risk of slope instability throughout the design "life" of the mine. INTRODUCTION Problem solving is often attempted in terms of absolutes; an alternative...
