Geological-Material Model Complexity Level and Excavation Sequencing on Numerical Modelling of Progressive Failure in Deep Open-Pit Slopes: A Case Study in a Porphyry Deposit Mine
DownloadFall 2024
This research delves into the intricate dynamics of progressive rock slope failure and its significant impact on the stability of deep open pit mining operations (over 500 meters according to Li et al., 2022), focusing on the crucial aspect of inter-ramp failure (large scale). The primary...
