Open pit slope design has conventionally been effected as a bottom up function utilising available geotechnical information. This results in a decision criterion based on Probability of Failure and Factor of Safety with a risk assessment being carried out ...

OpenRisk, an open cast risk rating system, takes into account relative differences in the importance of hazards, as experienced on each mine as a result of different combinations of geotechnical factors and mining conditions. The system is based on critical ...

The general framework of this guideline is based on the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) approach promoted by the United Nations through the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction – ISDR. One of the key premises in this approach is that disasters are ...

<p>This paper discusses a consistent procedure to quantify geological, geotechnical and economic risk in tunneling. For an underground excavation a sound rock mass model and a systematic and quantitative rock mass characterization has to be developed. After ...
