DUMP SLOPE STABILITY IN OPENCAST MINES: RISK FACTORS & MITIGATION MEASURES
Keywords:
Dump slope stability; Opencast mining; Geotechnical parameters; Hydrological factors; Slope failure mechanisms; Risk assessment; Mitigation measuresAbstract
In large-scale opencast mining, overburden and waste materials are continuously excavated anddeposited in internal or external dump yards. Ensuring the stability of these dump slopes is cruciafor safe and efficient operations, as failures can cause loss of life, equipment damage,environmental harm
