Simplified Method

A study comparing a three-dimensional extension of the Bishop simplified method with other limit equilibrium solutions is presented. Very good correspondence is found in cases of rotational and symmetric sliding surfaces, such as ellipsoids. The Bishop method tends to be conservative when applied to nonrotational and asymmetric surfaces because it neglects internal strength. The error is, however, tolerably small for many commonly occurring slide geometries. Indices are proposed to identify cases for which the method should not be used. With its limitations defined, the Bishop simplified method offers a useful algorithm for three-dimensional limit equilibrium analysis. Key words: three-dimensional slope stability analysis.

The Stability

The stability of potash tailings piles is investigated using a pore-water pressure generation and dissipation model together with a limit equilibrium analysis. It is found that a shallow toe failure mode is generally the most applicable and that the stability may be influenced by pore-water pressure migration below the pile. It is suggested that field studies would be useful in evaluating stability in the toe region of the pile. Key words : potash tailings, slope stability, pore pressure dissipation, solutioning.

Analysis Of Stability

As the complexity and the tall of open pit slope, two-dimensional slope stability analysis methods have been unable to meet the needs of the accuracy of stability analysis. Therefore, for the complex situation of Pingzhuang open pit slope, use with three-dimensional rigid body limit equilibrium method to analysisstability of slope.slope3D system, which consists of pre-treatment, limit equilibrium analysis solver and post-processing, the first processing core is to construct three-dimensional geological model of the slope, post-processing mainly results analysis and visualization graphics. The system combined organically the slope engineering geological information three-dimensional visualization and the analysis of stability, which make us to determine the landslide model, reveal the mechanism of landslide more accurately. Make an important contribution for ensuring safety in open pit production, a good foundation for slope stability analysis of other open pit.

Obajana Limestone Mine is operated by Obajana Cement Plc, the largest cement company in West Africa. The mine is located in Obajana town 49km North-West of Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria within the Igara-Kabba-Lokoja Schist belt with coordinates N070 55l 00ll and E060 261 0011. An assessment of the mine pit slope face was carried out in order to evaluate bench slope stability conditions with a view to providing a consistently safe and effective mine pit working environment. Scanline method was used in the geologic mapping of a section of the northern pit-wall of the mine. Empirical method was used to determine rock strength parameters relevant to design and analysis. Factors of safety values - the primary indices for assessing the probability or remoteness of slopes to failure were determined by the traditional limit equilibrium analysis; a most accepted and widely used method among geotechnical engineers. Roclab and RockPack III Software were used as tools for the analyses. Results from kinematics analysis i.e stereographic projections, stereoplots and stereo-analysis identified four sets of pole concentration with three of these lying within the friction cone (Critical area). This implies that the set of discontinuities with these poles will negatively influence stability conditions of the mine pit slope face.
