... element analyses based on the detailed ground data and information obtained. Thus, the slope stability problem which is of key importance for an important engineering structure and located in a landslide area is investigated comprehensively. The results of this investigation could be helpful...

... Abstract Albania has approximately 2/3 of its surface of flysch rocks. In areas where these rocks are present, are built several important objects, such as roads or hydroelectric power plants. These rocks are problematic for the slopes stability. The authors of this paper, to provide technical...

... return. Beck [1] identifies the importance of large scale instability issues and how they, if not foreseen, can render a mine infeasible or prevent planning objectives from being reached or delayed. Conventional geotechnical analysis assesses slope stability using probabilistic and static/limit...

... methods in the evaluation of slope stability. To complex rock and soil slopes, numerical approaches such as finite element and finite difference methods may be more suitable due to their flexibility when applied to simulate in situ stresses, loading condition, and multi-field interactions. Even though...

... will soon address open pit slope design in weak rock masses and waste dump and stockpile design. Since 2006 there have been five international slope stability conferences with a major focus on open pit slope stability. The last 10 years has seen important advances in remote sensing and numerical modelling...

... or geotechnical issues enabling production to be maintained safely. Slope stability modelling techniques have developed significantly over the years from basic kinematic analysis in the 1990s through to more complex twodimensional limit equilibrium analysis and numerical modelling in the 2000s. The iron ore...

... ABSTRACT: This paper presents part of the slope stability improvement program carried out at Kışladağ Gold Mine in Turkey. A slope stability project was initiated at the site recently to review the minor slope failures as well as the geotechnical and final wall design aspects in detail. Two...

.... In this way, the subjectivity of the expert (human) coding of interactions is replaced by a systematic and objective methodology based on case histories from an extensive and worldwide database of open-pit rock slope stability (or instability) observations. In addition, a newly developed Mine Slope...

... ABSTRACT: The bigger mine waste dumps create the greater the issue to encounter in situ ground conditions. Landfill rock waste makes an inadequate strength and economic issue of the reclamation work is more difficult, especially in determination of slope stability. A clear differentiation based...

... with geotechnical parameters allows calculating of well-known safety factors for slope failure in rock and soil. Furthermore, the effect of water availability on slope stability can also be taken into account and is useful to estimate the effect of long-term precipitation events on slope stability. The calculated...

... and for managing the safety of the roadway. Three-dimensional displacements could be measured continuously and precisely using appropriate methods for error correction. The applicability of the system for assessing slope stability is also discussed. 1. Introduction GPS is now being used widely for monitoring...

... the surface and pore pressure has been shown to play a dominant role on the slope stability, particularly in the marls benches. Mineralization is embedded in volcanic and other metamorphic rocks, including some soft tuffs and clayey slates. To provide accurate data for these calculations, a comprehensive...

... in Turkey I . Özkan Department of Mining Engineering, Selçuk University, Konya, Turkey ABSTRACT: Eskihisar, Orhaneli, and Ilg n are important lignite open-pit mining regions in Turkey, which in the last 10 years have experienced problems with slope stability, according to long-term, in situ measurements...

... Abstract Slope stability in open pit mines is an important issue. Most open pit coal mines are located in Kalimantan in which rainfall is very high and as such so is the probability of slope failure. It has been well accepted that slope failure risk consists of probability times consequence...

... Abstract The objective of the work was to check the slope stability in marl and limestone mine in the city of Opole. In this mine, due to its location, blasting exploitation method was abandoned. The medium hardness rocks allowed operating the mine only by the excavators without the use...

... in practice. The suite has been expanded to allow a preliminary analysis of rock slope stability and rock block size distribution in exposures to determine potential quarry sites for suitable rock for breakwaters. The first card to be developed for this, the SKIERS card, examines the potential for planar...

... is critical in civil engineering design as failure can cause catastrophic consequences, especially for the slope cuts in road construction. Therefore an assessment of the rock slope stability must be considered. There are mainly four primary modes of failure, against which stability must be examined...

... percentile method and the Monte Carlo simulation technique. This methodology results in empirical relationships between strength properties and the age of the slope, with quantified probabilities. A fully quantified probabilistic slope stability assessment can then be made. In such an assessment, a slope...

.... This article deals with a case study on how blast design influenced the stability of four roads cuts in Sweden. The purpose of the study is to suggest methods on functional demands and estimations of rock slope stability. One economical and practical criterion on rock slope stability is the sum of visible...
