Estimate of stress state in rock masses adjacent to open pit walls

  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

It is proposed to study the action exerted by the tectonic stresses on stability of open pit walls by using the method of core disking in exploratory holes and the tectono-physical method based on the analysis of tectonic structure of a rock mass.
