As an engineer, I have come to understand the importance of geotechnical analysis for stability…
As mining experts, we should understand the key factors that affect slope stability and also we should understand the importance of ensuring safe and stable slopes in open-pit mining.
When I started my career as a geotechnical engineer for a big size open pit metal mine, at that time I didn’t have any idea how we can manage the stability of slopes, how we can detect slope failures, how we can detect rock falls, and how we can save man-machineries before a slope failure occurred. But after a few months, I could able to know that already a lot of monitoring instruments were invented which can give us a clear idea about slope behavior. Not only the slope behavior but also those instruments can predict also before a slope collapse.
