Research on the Failure Mechanism of Bedding High Rock Slope at an Open-Pit Mine

Abstract:

The bedding high rock slope is most likely to failure in the rock slopes. It is the sliding and bending deformation model (buckling failure) according to deformation characteristic of the north wing slope at the open-pit mine. Considering the influence of rocky self-weight, seismic force and groundwater, the failure mechanism of bedding high rock slope by energy method is researched on the basis of stability theory for elastic plane. And the critical length is obtained. Finally, the influences of model geometry on the critical length, such as the rock stratum dip angle, thickness and width length ratio, is analyzed.
