... to the values of extended parameters, which include 18 parameters relating to open pit slope stability. The output is an estimated potential for instability. To minimize subjectivity, the method of partitioning the connection weights is applied in order to rate the significance of the parameters involved...

... Kansanshi Mining plc (KMP) experienced a number of multiple-bench instabilities in saprolite zones of the open pit walls. Although detectable with current monitoring techniques, these instabilities caused production delays and necessitated a re-design of weathered slopes. This process started...

... Slope instability is one of the major concerns in open pit mining. Significant collapse of the pit wall can result in injuries or fatalities, damage to mining equipment, interruptions to production and potential loss of reserves. Properly interpreted microseismic data can be used to augment...

... of laboratory experiments was used to investigate the effects of initial shear stress, initial normal stress, and its unloading rate on the frictional instability of the fault, and a numerical simulation was carried out to interpret stress variation and particle evolution during the unloading process. Our...

... The stability of slopes and underground excavations is generally affected by the geological structure of the rock mass, and it is important that this factor is adequately assessed. Whether instability will arise from the presence of the structures depends on the tectonic events that resulted...
