Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design is a comprehensive account of the
open pit slope design process. Created as an outcome of the Large Open
Pit (LOP) project, an international research and technology transfer
project on the stability of rock slopes in open pit mines, this book
provides an up-to-date compendium of knowledge of the slope design
processes that should be followed and the tools that are available to
aid slope design practitioners. This book links innovative mining geomechanics research into the strength of closely jointed rock masses with the most recent advances in numerical modelling, creating more effective ways for predicting the reliability of rock slopes in open pit mines. It sets out the key elements of slope design, the required levels of effort and the acceptance criteria that are needed to satisfy best practice with respect to pit slope investigation, design, implementation and performance monitoring.
This book will assist open pit mine slope design practitioners, including engineering geologists, geotechnical engineers, mining engineers and civil engineers and mine managers, in meeting stakeholder requirements for pit slopes that are stable, in regards to safety, ore recovery and financial return, for the required life of the mine.
