Deep open-pit mines and large rock slopes expose many diverse rock lithologies and
geological structures (eg, faults, bedding planes) that may reduce the integrity of slopes …

ABSTRACT A new rock burst damage scale index (RDSI) based on the Rock Engineering
Systems paradigm and on a BP-ANN is proposed. Seven parameters that are likely to affect …

Mining operations can have a significant impact on the stability of the surrounding area. One
example is the Medapalli open pit coal mine in southern India. The mine is a large …

The presence of oil contamination causes changes in mechanical properties of clayey soil
trenches with low liquid limits (CL) such as stress-strain behavior, rupture plain position …

The main objective of this research is to present a stable and optimal design of the ultimate
slope of the eastern wall of Shadan Gold-Copper open pit mine based on the calculation of …

Slope instability can occur due to external loads such as earthquakes, explosions, and pore
pressures. In addition, under natural conditions, slope instability can be caused by factors …

This paper presents various methods for calculating the factor of safety (FOS) and utilizes
the Isoblock method to analyze the stability of underground powerhouse caverns located in …

An appropriate representation of faults is fundamental for hydro-mechanical reservoir
models to obtain robust quantitative insights into the spatial distribution of stress, strain and …

The proper representation of faults in coupled hydro-mechanical reservoir models is
challenged, among others, by the difference between the small-scale heterogeneity of fault …

Abstract In this study, we present the coordination development schemes of mining and
dum** engineering in steeper anticline region of an open-pit coal mine with nearly flat …
