Open-pit mining, known for its scale and complexity, poses various challenges to geotechnical engineers, particularly when it concerns the stability of rock slopes. A new study delving deeply...
The research emanates from assessments conducted at the Fushun West Open-pit Mine, China, wherein researchers highlighted the structural characteristics of slopes containing multiple weak layers...
Through numerical simulations and methodologies grounded on the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) technique, elaborate models of rock slopes were established which varied parameters...
Critically, the results elucidated how increases in the slope angle directly correlated with diminished safety factors, painting a stark picture of potential failures...
The interplay of weak layer dip angle also emerged as significant, stirring transformations in safety classifications and failure modes...
Given the complexity of geotechnical parameters inherent within these rock formations, probabilistic modeling surfaced as pivotal. The findings advocate for integrating these variable-rich assessments...
By synthesizing prior knowledge with innovative methodologies, the study promises to fortify the methodologies used for slope stability evaluations and disaster management...
