Designing and planning of areas affected by surface dislocations at the open pits

Abstract

The designing and spatial planning of areas affected by instability at the open pits represents an analysis of all conditional factors that create a potential representation of a wider area. The specificities that characterize the conditions on the field, created after the instabilities had occurred, require research which along with the calculation results presents a starting point for further design. The terrain leveling, shaping of the slopes and depressions of the open pit, are interpreted based on geological structure, engineering - technical conditions of the work environment, disposition of the existing objects, junctions of the mining area, environmental conditions and factors which add to the stability of the future area. The inclines and slope geometry are defined by the law as well as by the intended purposes of the areas that are to be planned. The entire area survey for the purpose of its planning should be regarded as a whole which requires the project solutions from multiple technical areas for the purpose of functional area planning. The technological solutions of terrain modeling, taking into consideration the analysis of foundation the acquired results, including the experiences of applied procedures from the subject area, undoubtedly demands synchronization with the technical, technological and capacitive capabilities in a particular case. The definition of technological solutions must be based on the principles of environment preservation.
