PIT SLOPE DESIGN AND RISK – A VIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF THE ART (2006)

Risk lies at the heart of all mining and nowhere more so than in pit slope design. Mining is principally about two areas of risk; safety and economics. This paper addresses the main elements of pit slope design and presents a view of the state of the art in terms of safety, design, prediction of performance, success and pit slope management.
