... of slope collapses that occur affecting the health and safety of miners and surrounding community. In rock mechanics, slope stability analysis and design has received significant attention in large scale mining to mitigate the risk of slope collapse but minimal implementation in artisanal and small-scale...

... ABSTRACT: Submarine slope failures have been considered to have strong spatial relations with the occurrence of gas hydrates. The slope stability analysis used the shear strength reduction technique with a Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion to calculate the factors of safety. When the hydrate...

... ABSTRACT: Slope stability and maximum productivity are critical to the success of any open pit mine. To achieve a profitable balance of the two, the slope has to be steep enough to minimize waste stripping and gentle enough to ensure slope stability. One means to this end is careful...

... Abstract: We consider a jointed rock mass in which significant brittle fracturing is necessary between discontinuous joint segments for overall failure to occur. Simple methods to determine slope stability in such a rock mass rely on assumptions about the behavior of rock bridges. We use...

... Abstract: Slope stability and the reasonable and effective method of slope protection is the key to the construction safety and normal operation, which has important engineering significance. The Limit equilibrium method was adopted for the analysis and evaluation of Yangnangou tunnel portal...

...1. INTRODUCTION A correct assessment of slope stability is fundamental in the design, planning and operation of any open pit mine [1]. Several mines around the world have reached or will reach depths of 1000 meters in their planned mine life. At these depths it is extremely important to have...

...1. INTRODUCTION Since the first literature had been published by Fellenius(1936)[1], which was about slope stability analysis. There have been lots of research articles related to slope stability. Up to now, the slope stability has been widely assessed by popular methods such as the conventional...

The result is an estimate of rock slope stability and classifies as either: very bad, bad, average...

...1. INTRODUCTION The lithotypes of low hydraulic conductivity are considered elements that control slope stability because they may behave as geological hydraulic barriers that quite often favor the development of flows with strong vertical components and high hydraulic gradients (Patton & Hendron...

INTRODUCTION Geotechnical data collected for highway road cut slope stability analysis is normally gathered by scan line or cell mapping methods, where information about the rock mass is measured by hand [2]. These methods are very time intensive and full access to the upper sections of the rock...
