This study focuses on the assessment and monitoring of the stress-strain state (SSS) of rock masses under conditions of increasing open-pit mining depth. It examines the influence of natural stresses on the stability of rock formations and the consequences of their disturbance during mining operations, including the risks of deformation and collapse. Particular attention is given to modern geomechanical monitoring methods, which include both direct and indirect (geophysical) approaches, as well as the use of compu...

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 accurate...
