THE STUDY AND INFLUENCE OF JOINTING AS GEOLOGICAL FACTOR ON PIT EDGES STABILITY
Abstract
Regulatory documents of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of substantiating the stability of slopes of pit edges are currently at variance with world practice in the design and operation of open-pit deposits. Modern design methods involve the creation of a three-dimensional complex geomechanical model of the field. Such a model contains information on the geological and structural composition that describes the disturbance of the solid mass by folds, tectonic faults, and jointing. It is important to accurately collect and process the data when documenting the core to ensure the quality of the data of the filled geomechanical model at the first stage. Therefore, it would be possible to use the basic methods for classifying the rock mass, as well as assessing its strength and geotechnical conditions of the field. The article describes the main parameters of the structural features of the rock mass, which must be investigated to obtain complete information about the field. Also, the following paper consider methods for studying the jointing of the rock mass and report methods for introducing the obtained data into the calculation model.
