The dumps in the open-pit mining area in the eastern grassland are prone to landslides due to the fragile ecological environment, so it is inevitable to reshape the dump slopes. In order to explore a more scientific method for slope shaping of open-pit mine dump, slope stability analysis were used to compare effect of three types of slope-type (wave-shaped, slope-shaped and step-shaped slope shaping method)in outside dumping site of Baori Hiller open-pit mine. The results show that the slope stability is negatively correlated with the slope angle, and the stability of different shaping slopes is realized as wave-shaped slope (F=2.711)> Slope-shaped slope(F=2.513)>Step-shaped slope(F=1.047), in which the wave type and slope type are all within the safe range, but the step type slope is unstable; in consideration of cost, stability and erosion resistance, it is better to set the slope angle of the dump to 15°.The wave-shaped shaping method of the natural dumping of the excavation field outside the Baori Hiller open-pit mine has the best effect and is worth promoting.

Aceh Province is one of the coal producers, especially Sumber Batu Village in Meurebo District, West Aceh Regency. In the implementation of coal mining, it is necessary to pay attention to the slope stability of open-pit mining to identify and estimate the possibility of landslides. For this reason, the author conducted research in analyzing the geometric shape of the slope stability with the slope variance of modeling the reduction of the existing angle αeks - 10% to the depth of three layers of soil 11 meters. The 1st layer of soil is 1.5 meters, the second layer of soil is 2.5 meters, and the third layer of soil is 7 meters. Slope stability is strongly influenced by the geometric shape of the slope and the strength of soil parameters. To identify the stability of the slope against slope failure, computationally performed using the finite element method with Plaxis software as the reference for the value of FK 1.25, which is considered safe/stable, meaning that collapse rarely occurs. In this research, primary data is used in the form of direct observation in the field, namely taking soil samples to obtain soil data in the form of soil physical properties and soil mechanical properties into soil parameter data, which is tested in the soil laboratory. Secondary data used are map data, boring data, and Sondir data. Soil parameter data were processed using Plaxis software. The results of the slope stability analysis showed that by modeling the geometric shape of the slope (αeks - 10%) on the open slope of a coal mine with a soil depth of 11 meters, the FK value was 3.60. From the results of the FK scores, it shows that the slope of the slope is 3.60 1.25 above the reference value of safe/stable FK. The FK value is 0.2 greater than the FK existing geometry. The conclusion of this study is that geometric shapes play an important role in determining the stability of an open coal pit excavation slope. The smaller the slope angle, the greater the FK value obtained, or the more gentle the slope, the higher the safety value of a slope.

Abstract As the mining industry developed significantly in the last decades and the depth of open-pit mining has increased, the stability of large open-pit slopes has become a major problem directly related to the safety production and development of a mine. However, the overall slope is indeed safer than the local slope based on the existing stability estimation methods. So the existing methods of directly analyzing the stability of the overall slope will produce some errors in the calculation results of the safety factor, and cannot comprehensively reflect the stability of the mine slope. Based on these problems, this paper adopted the idea of gradual analysis and the precise determination of discontinuity properties to perform a limit equilibrium analysis for the evaluation of mine slope stability. A case study slope, referred to as Yangtaowu Slope in Dexing Copper Mine, was selected for the demonstration of the accuracy of this approach. The results indicate that the adopted method can accurately reflect the actual stability of the slope, especially when the mine slope is near the critical state of stability.

Underground cavities formed by underground mining activities are a potential threat to open-pit mining activities. Longtan Village Iron Mine is located in Chengde city, Hebei province, China. The open-pit mining and underground mining of Longtan Village Iron Mine are simultaneously performed. Cavities will remain after underground mining. When mining is performed on the top of the underground cavities in the open pit, concerns arise regarding the closest distance to prevent the collapse of the cavities. (The closest distance is the safe distance between the explosive and the cavities. If the distance between the explosive and the cavities is less than the closest distance, the stability of the cavities will be affected.) The collapse will endanger the safety of the workers and equipment in the open pit. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the stability of the underground cavities near the bench blasting. In this paper, a series of bench blast tests was performed, and the site-specific attenuation relations of the PPV (Peak particle velocity) and principal frequency of Longtan Village Iron Mine were obtained. Then, an ANASYS three-dimensional numerical model was created, and the propagation of the blast wave and the response of the multicavities were calculated by LS-DYNA. The accuracy of the simulation was verified. However, the bench blast tests do not affect the stability of the cavities. The formula to calculate the closest distance was obtained, which can be used as an approximate guide when designing the bench explosion of Longtan Village Iron Mine. Workers can mine in a safe area of the open pit, and the stability of the cavities will not be affected.

Road cutting, open pit mining, quarrying and various other constructions in hilly terrain demand special attention in terms of slope stability. The analysis of slope stability is of great significance not only for ensuring safe design of excavated slope, but also for preventing potential hazards. This research was undertaken to identify the controlling parameters affecting the slope instability. As the rock slope behaviour is mostly governed by discontinuities, discontinuum numerical technique such as Discrete Element Method (DEM) which has the ability to address discontinuity controlled instability is well suited for this case. This study investigated the failure pattern and its responsible factors leading to failure of a slope at a slate quarry situated in Wales, United Kingdom as a case study. The research work consisted of field investigation, laboratory experiments and parametric analysis by powerful and renowned distinct element computational tool Universal Discrete Element Code (UDEC). Evidence showed that complex failure mechanism involving distinct planar sliding surface along with block-flexural toppling contributed to the instability at the studied slate quarry. Dip of discontinuity, presence of water, weathering state and slope angle were the significant factors found in this study to have profound impact on controlling rock slope instability. The modelling results also indicated that the influence of structurally dipping at 78° of cleavage in slate and the water filling in the crack which developed excess water pressure have triggered the failure.

ABSTRAK Studi geoteknik sangat penting pada tambang terbuka untuk menentukan geometri lereng dan kestabilan lereng tambang. Kestabilan lereng pada tambang terbuka sangat mempengaruhi kelangsungan produksi dan keselamatan pekerja pada tambang tersebut. Pada kasus tambang timah primer, material pembentuk lereng yang terdiri dari batuan induk berupa granit dan tanah dekomposisi dari granit. Hal ini dapat memberikan masalah dalam penentuan parameter kekuatan material dan analisis yang digunakan. Karena  parameter kekuatan yang berasal dari dekomposisi granit mempunyai variabilitas yang tinggi. Metode deterministik tidak cukup untuk memodelkan kestabilan lereng pada tambang timah primer. Sehingga dilakukan perpaduan antara penggunaan metode deterministik dan probabilistik dalam proses analisis kestabilan lereng. Pemboran geoteknik dilakukan dengan cara full coring. Parameter sifat fisik dan mekanik material lereng didapat dari hasil pengujian laboratorium. Nilai internal shear angle, unit weight dan cohesion diproses dengan simulasi Monte Carlo sebagai model variabel acak. Simulasi Monte Carlo melakukan evaluasi secara simultan dari kestabilan lereng. Simulasi juga dilakukan dengan variasi sudut lereng keseluruhan dan proses pengeringan air tanah. Hasil simulasi memperlihatkan lereng pada penampang 1 dengan sudut lereng keseluruhan sebesar 25o (pada keadaan dinamik, SF= 1.216, PF= 8.1%, RI= 1.419)  dengan proses pengeringan air tanah, penampang 2 pada sudut lereng keseluruhan 35 o(pada keadaan dinamik, SF= 1.44 , PF= 0% , RI= 3.535)  dan Penampang 3 pada sudut lereng keseluruhan 15o (pada keadaan dinamik, SF= 1.469 ,PF= 13.7%, RI= 1.079).   Kata kunci: kestabilan lereng, probabilitas, timah primer  ABSTRACT Geotechnical studies are very important in open pit mining to determine the slope geometry and stability of the mine slope. Slope stability at an open pit greatly influences the continuity of production and the safety of workers at the mine. In the case of primary tin mining, slope-forming material consisting of host rock in the form of granite and soil decomposition of granite. It can give problems in determining the strength parameters and the modeling used. Because the strength parameters derived from granite decomposition have high variability. The deterministic method is not enough to model slope stability in primary tin mines. So it is a combination of the use of deterministic and probabilistic methods in the process of modeling the slope stability. Geotechnical drilling is done by full coring. The parameters of physical and mechanical properties of slope material are obtained from laboratory test results. Internal shear angle, unit weight and cohesion values are processed by Monte Carlo simulation as a random variable model. Monte Carlo simulations carry out simultaneous evaluations of slope stability. Simulations are also carried out with overall slope angle variation and groundwater dewatering. Simulation results show that the slope at cross-section 1 at overall slope angle(OSA) 25o (under dynamic condition, SF = 1,216, PF = 8.1%, RI = 1,419) with groundwater dewatering process, cross-section 2 at with 35o(OSA) (SF = 1.44, PF = 0%, RI = 3,535) and Section 3 at 15o (SF = 1,469, PF = 13.7%, RI = 1,079). Key word: slope stability, probability, primary tin
