Stability analysis of pit slopes in Zapadno-Ozerny quarry to ensure mine safety

Abstract

The article discusses the design parameters of open pit slopes and the approach to calculating the stability of open pit slopes. The main deformations of slopes of open pits are considered. An assessment of the influence of the stress-strain state of quarry slopes on their stability is made. On the example of an open pit at the Zapadno-Ozernoye field, the assessment of stability under the actual stress-strain state of the site was performed. Recommendations to determine the new boundaries of the open pit, in which the section of the South Eastern slope of the open pit will be stable are given.
