Relevance of the research. Stable parameters of dumps are critical in mining operations ensuring their safety and economic efficiency. This problem is particularly acute for mining enterprises engaged in surface mining and for coal open pit mines, in particular. One of the main problems of this issue is related to the substantiation of rigorous methods for assessing stability and determining the limiting parameters of external and internal dumps filling an embankment on weak gently dipping interface. In the technical and regulatory literature, this issue has been considered for a long time. However, there are no specific recommendations for finding the most dangerous sliding surfaces on slopes, as well as methods for calculating shearing and restraining forces along these surfaces. All the signs are that the reason for the stability loss of operated dumps is the absence of theoretically substantiated design schemes, respectively, there are errors in the design of dumping. Purpose of the work is to develop reliable methods for calculating the limiting parameters of dumps on weak gently dipping interface. The main idea of the work is to apply a new, not previously used scheme for calculating the stability of dumps on weak gently dipping interface. Research methods. The work deals with the apparatus of flow mechanics and more specifically, the rigid-plastic model (the method of limit equilibrium), and the variational, integral and differential branches of calculus act as a mathematical apparatus. Results and conclusions. Based on the results of previous studies, a new scheme for calculating the stability of the dump during its destruction along weak interface was proposed, which implies the absence of a curved section of the sliding surface under the slope and the convex shape of the sliding surface under the berm. In contrast to the existing calculation schemes, such a calculation scheme predicts significantly lower values of the critical parameters of dumps. It means that the use of the proposed scheme will prevent the destruction of dumps by landslides along the dumpbasement interface and increase the economic efficiency of enterprises. Because a sufficiently large overestimation of the critical parameters of dumps at weak interface limited by current regulatory documents has been determined, it is recommended to revise these parameters for the designed and operated dumps using the proposed schemes for calculating their stability.

At present, in-situ stress was not considered in Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) of slopes, the influence of in-situ stress is very small on the stability of conventional slopes, but in deep-depressed open-pit mines, the influence should not be neglected. Formula for calculating the Factor of Safety (FOS) under the effect of horizontal in-situ stress was deduced using General Slice Method (GSM) of two-dimensional (2D) limit equilibrium method in this paper，a corresponding program SSLOPE was built, and the software was used in a deep- depressed open-pit iron mine. The results show that the FOS of the slope decreased by 20% when horizontal in-situ stress is considered, some reinforcements must be taken. Therefore, the influence of in-situ stress on slope stability should be taken into account in deep open –pit mines.

The Stability

The reliability theory based analysis is more advanced and reasonable compared with the traditional methods for slope stability analysis. Limit equilibrium method is usually used to evaluate the stability of a slope. In this paper, a new reliability analysis method is obtained based on JC method and multi sliding surface method which a new limit equilibrium method developed by Huang. Then, this new method is applied for a wharf slope. The sliding surface get from the safety factor is not the same as that from reliability index though they are close to each other. The safety factor or reliability index get from Fellenius method is smaller than that from other method. The safety factor or reliability index get from multi sliding surface method is close to that from Bishops method. The reliability index can be more reasonable after the standard deviation of the soil property index is deduced with random field theory.

Based on the hydrological, geologies and slope features of Jianshan phosphate mine in Yunnan province, the geomechanics model of slope was established. Then the static stability of different elevations in mining section was studied by using methods such as the rigid body limit equilibrium method, finite element method, continuum large deformation Lagrange element method. According to the supervise data of the mining blasting, the dynamic response of the slope in blasting was studied by continuum large deformation Lagrange element method, and some suggestions were proposed for following mining blasting. The research results show that the slope was in the stable status before blasting vibration. Current mining blasting vibration has little effect on the stability of slope, but would reduce the safety factor of the top of the slope. Single blasting would enlarge the instantaneous acceleration of the top of the slope in a ratio of 8.8% and 10.8%.

Major Factors

Due to natural environmental conditions and the effect of man, geological disasters (landslides, earthquakes, etc.) pose a serious threat to ancient relics distributed across China. In consideration of the current situation at the Tonglushan ancient copper mine relics, and on the basis of hydrology and geological engineering conditions of ancient relics, major factors affecting slope stability of ancient relics are analyzed. In light of major working condition types in the slopes of ancient relics, slope stability in relation to earthquakes and rainfall is analyzed using GeoStudio software with limit equilibrium methods. Results indicate that, with sustained rainfall, all slopes in the current reinforcement measure maintain a suitable stabilization status, but slope stability will sharply decline in response to an earthquake. Therefore, the influence of mining blasting activities on slope stability is analyzed. In view of the deformation characteristics of ancient copper mines, the sliding force remote monitoring and warning system based on the constant resistance and large deformation anchor bolt is adopted to continuously monitor the stability of the west slope of the relics. Monitoring results show that the application of “mechanical gun” instead of “explosive blasting” mining technique in the open-pit mine has effectively reduced the influence of mining disturbance on the stability of the western slope. As slope deformation of the relics can be effectively monitored and controlled, our findings provide a theoretical basis to analyze slope stability in other similar cultural relics.

Theoretical Results

The weak interlayer in the slope meets with water threatening the overall stability of the slope. Sequestration location of the weak layer has an impact on the stability of the slope. Based on this, taking the south-side slope of Fushun West Open-Pit Mine as the background, the limit equilibrium method was used to study the influence of different depths and dip angles of weak interlayers on the factor-of-safety and sliding mode of the slope. After analyzing the effect, a bottom friction experiment was conducted to verify the theoretical results. The research results show that, as the buried depth of the weak layer becomes larger and the dip angle becomes smaller, the safety factor of the slope increases. Dip angle and depth both affect the sliding mode of the slope. This can provide a reference for study of the influence mechanism of weak interlayer on slope stability in multi-weak-layer slopes.

Combining the explicit Lagrangian difference method for the continuum body and strength reduction technology, this paper analyzed the stability of Xian Feng open-pit. The generalized shear strain and plastic strain interconnected within the weak structural plane of slope are used as criterion to identify slope failure state. Analysis of the example verifies that the criterion is rational. With the calculate model, it can predict the open-pit ultra-high slope stability after five years. Its results are similar to the traditional limit equilibrium method. Therefore, the method is reasonably practicable. So the result will be important significance to guide the post-construction of mine.

The stability of slope in open-pit affects the economic benefits and safety production of mining enterprises. From the two aspects of internal factors and external factors, this paper analyses the factors affecting the slope stability of open-pit, discusses the basic theory of slope stability analysis, and puts forward the criterion of slope stability based on the safety coefficient. The limit equilibrium method is chosen to analyze the stability of the high and steep slope of open-pit in this paper, and the SLIDE software is used for numerical simulation according to the actual slope model of certain open-pit. The simulation results show that the slope safety coefficient of the instance is 1.01, which is unstable slope. When the number of the slope blocks is more than 40, the safety coefficient tend to be stable. Blasting vibration has a great influence on slope stability. The results of slope stability analysis provide a scientific guidance for the prevention and control of the slope instability.

The Stability

Dump in the steep area of the open-pit mine is essential for safe production. The bedrock with the bumpy-surface blasting method effectively improves the stabilization of the dumpsite. The effect of the ratio and dispersion degree on the deformation and failure of the dumping bench at the largely inclined area was analyzed. Based on the limit equilibrium method, the equation about the stability factor and the blasted region ratio was deduced. Virtual experiments were performed to address how the ratio and dispersion degree affect deformation and failure. The results showed that the stability factor is a quadratic function of the ratio of the blasted area. The increase in the ratio results in a drastic reduction of displacement, and the direction of displacement significantly changes. The rise in the dispersion degree effectively reduces the displacement and shear strain increment, and the failure mode changes. There is a specific value for the ratio and dispersion degree, making the displacement and shear strain increment little. The research on bumpy surface blasting in this paper provides the theoretical foundation for the dump construction at the site with the large dip angle.
