COMPUTER MODELING OF CATCH BENCHES TO MITIGATE ROCKFALL HAZARDS IN OPEN PIT MINES (2000)
A computer analysis of bench stability has been developed to account for multiple occurrences of potentialslope-failure modes in discontinuous rock masses. Bench-scale plane shears and tetrahedral wedges are simulated and stochastically analyzed to estimate the probability of retaining specified catch-bench widths. This geotechnical information is useful in designing bench configurations to improve pit-slope stability and help alleviate rockfall hazards.
