The depths of open-pit mines have been increasing in the last few decades. This
transformation generates a vast amount of waste rock material per unit mining area …

The significant difference between the mechanical properties of soft rock and hard rock
results in the complexity of the failure mode of the anti-dip layered slope with soft and hard …

Landslides are one of the most destructive geological disasters and have been caused
many casualties and economic losses every year in the world. The reservoir area formed by …

In Poland, the mining waste from underground coal mines is commonly deposited in surface
dump sites, forming slopes or piles of materials dozens of meters high. Because of the loose …

Mine waste dump material has no economic value to the industry. Therefore, the mine waste
is dumped, forming slopes. Mine waste dump slopes obtain 30% to 50% of the mining area …

Abstract 2D numerical modeling is used for the dump slope stability assessment. The 2D
numerical modeling stability assessment results are not realistic for the actual geometry of …

In this study, the relationship between the pore structure and macroscopic mechanical
characteristics of coarse-grained soils from mine dumps is explored under various freeze …

Stability of mine overburden (OB) dump slope has been a major concern over the years and
needs a proper design for safe mining operation and economy of project. Incorporation of fly …

Stability of OB dump slope has been a major concern and require a proper design for safe
mining operation. Utilisation of fly ash with OB material for construction of mine haul road …

In the present work, an improved smooth particle hydrodynamic (SPH) method is proposed
for flow process and mechanism simulation of debris avalanche in mining waste dump. In …
