REVIEW ON SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION (original) (raw)

Abstract

Rock slope stability assessment is basically used for designing and evaluating the slope stability of the rock and mean while this is used for safety of the mine site. Rock slope hazard assessment is an important part of risk analysis for open pit mines. The main parameters that can lead to rock slope failures are the parameters traditionally used in geo-mechanical classifications, the slope geometrical parameters and external factors like rainfall and blasting. This paper presents for reviewing different methods of assessment technique and put out some referential idea through the paper.
