Model Study of Slope Stability in Open Pit by Numerical Modeling Using the Finite Element Method

This study simulates the slope stability at Jiu-Fen, using the limit equilibrium method and the finite element method. The limit equilibrium method can find potential slide surfaces and safety factors rapidly. The advantage of the finite element method is that it utilizes more reasonable soil behavior and boundary conditions. A critical slide surface obtained by the limit equilibrium method can be compared with the displacement vector, stress field and location of plastic zone obtained by the finite element method. Furthermore, we can compare the safety factors produced by the two methods. This study shows that the safety factor from the limit equilibrium method is higher than that from the finite element method. The displacement analysis by the finite element method agrees well with the progressive slope failure. So, if we combine the two methods using monitored data in the field, we can analyze slope stability clearly.

Abstract. PT X is a company engaged in the cement factory industry in West Java that uses an open-pit mining system with limestone mining. X is planning the location of waste dump placement using the in-pit dump method, so a safe and efficient final slope design is needed. For optimal stockpiling activities, slope geometry planning on the waste material dump needs to be carried out slope stability analysis. Slope stability is influenced by slope height, slope angle, rock mass strength, rock type, and groundwater level. The purpose of this research is to find out whether or not a slope is stably displayed in the Safety Factor (FK) value. Analysis process is carried out using the Finite Element Method and the Boundary Equilibrium Method. The analysis was carried out on bedrock and pile material. Analysis of bedrock using Finite Element Method in the Goa area in Sections A - B and C - D obtained SRF values of 4.6 and 16 with a total displacement of 13,771 m and 6 m. In the area of Mount Bindis Section E - F and G - H obtained SRF values of 2.5 and 4.75 with a total displacement of 11.8 m and 3 m. Analysis of the embankment material in the Goa In areas with Sections A - B and C - D FK values obtained = 2.11 and 1.56 and for Section C - D FK 2.62 and 1.94. In the Mount Bindis Area with sections E - F and G - H FK values = 1.59 and for Section G - H FK values = 2.31 and 1.57. The disposal obtained the amount of volume that will be accommodated in each area of 11,175,191.19 LCM and 74,749,919.45 LCM. Abstrak. PT X adalah perusahaan yang bergerak di industri pabrik semen di Jawa Barat yang menggunakan sistem penambangan terbuka dengan penambangan batu kapur. X sedang merencanakan lokasi penempatan pembuangan limbah dengan menggunakan metode pembuangan di dalam pit, sehingga diperlukan desain lereng akhir yang aman dan efisien. Untuk kegiatan penimbunan yang optimal, perencanaan geometri lereng pada tempat pembuangan bahan limbah perlu dilakukan analisis stabilitas lereng. Stabilitas lereng dipengaruhi oleh ketinggian lereng, sudut lereng, kekuatan massa batuan, jenis batuan, dan tingkat air tanah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah kemiringan secara stabil ditampilkan dalam nilai Safety Factor (FK). Proses analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan Metode Elemen Hingga dan Metode Kesetaraan Batas. Analisis dilakukan pada material batuan dasar dan tiang pancang. Analisis batuan dasar menggunakan Metode Elemen Hingga di daerah Goa di Bagian A - B dan C - D memperoleh nilai SRF 4,6 dan 16 dengan total perpindahan 13,771 m dan 6 m. Di daerah Gunung Bindis Bagian E - F dan G - H diperoleh nilai SRF 2,5 dan 4,75 dengan total perpindahan 11,8 m dan 3 m. Analisis bahan timbunan di Goa Di daerah dengan Bagian A - B dan C - D nilai FK diperoleh = 2.11 dan 1.56 dan untuk Bagian C - D FK 2.62 dan 1.94. Di Wilayah Gunung Bindis dengan bagian E - F dan G - H nilai FK = 1,59 dan untuk Bagian G - H nilai FK = 2,31 dan 1,57.

The content of level has a big enough role in the value of the physical characteristic and the mechanical of material. The behavior of water in these materials needs to be analyzed first in order to support the slope stability analysis. Modeling of water behavior in materials in the construction of Tailing Storage Facilities (TSF) will be integrated in the slope stability analysis. This study aims to provide an explanation about the analysis of the Fishing Storage Facilities (TSF) which integrates transient groundwater analysis using the finite element method in supporting the stability analysis of the embankment of Tailing Storage Facilities (TSF). The variables that are used in the analysis, they are the parameters of physical properties and mechanic material for embankment and permeability parameters in analyzing groundwater. The analysis method for geotechnical and geohydrology modeling uses the finite element method. The results of analysis showed that groundwater behavior in the embankment material can be known in detail so that it can be integrated with stability analysis. It can be seen that there is a decrease in the value of the slope safety factor using the Integrated Slope Stability Analysis method compared to the conventional method. Adding an impermeable layer using a thickness of 5 m of clay material and a thickness of 20-30 m to support the retaining wall/foot is the criterion of optimal stability. The required lining material thickness (D) can be expressed by the following drawdown percentage equation function: reduction percentage = (1-0.8661D (-0.031)) * 100%.
