Analysis of large scale rock slopes / Анализ крупномасштабных скальных откосов

Design of slope angles for open pit slopes have become increasingly important as mining depths in open pits worldwide continue to increase. Even a minor decrease of the slope angle leads to large additional costs due to increased waste rock extraction. On the other hand, with increased slope angles comes an increased risk of slope failure. A large scale failure can be very disastrous both to the operation and to the personnel working in the mine. <...>
