New Geotechnical Recommendations Ensure Safe Andesite Mining Slopes in Java
The research evaluated the stability of steep slopes in a mining area to prevent landslides. By analyzing the physical properties of the slopes, the researchers determined the optimal slope angles and safety factors. Using advanced methods like Q-Slope analysis and Monte Carlo simulation, they found that the slopes are safe and stable, with a low probability of failure. The recommended slope geometry includes dividing the slope into benches for better stability.
