Let's clarify this interaction. Assume an open pit mine with a substantial overall slope height. Now, assume a bench height of 15m, a required catch bench width of 8m with a stability determined face angle of 70 . Assume the inter
2019/12/06· The wall of an open pit wall will consist of a series of stacked benches. Geotechnical engineers will normally provide the pit slope design criteria based on the inter-ramp angle ("IRA") for various sectors around the pit. The IRA represents the toe-to-toe slope angle, as shown in the diagram below. The inter-ramp angle can be…
General information on blasting operations This study was conducted in both Pit 5 and Pit 6. The overburden in Pit 5 is drilled on a 10 m x10 m blast hole pattern and a bench height in excess of 30 metres. The blast holes
Ground vibrations originating from bench blasting may cause damage to slopes, structures, and underground workings in close proximity to an operating open-pit mine. It is important to monitor and predict ground vibration levels induced by blasting and to take measures to reduce their hazardous effects. The aims of this paper are to determine …

2018/07/08· Bench Blasting Application Hi everyone, I want to show an application from beginning to end in open pit bench blasting. Step-by-step we're going to explain what we should do in an open pit bench blasting. In most of mine works which including open pit production methods use almost same stage in blasting. Of course, first stage…
Dilution versus bench height (Bozorgebrahimi et al., 2005). Figure 3. Large block of the simple sequencing method. In open pit mining, factors that can affect the degree of dilution can be regarded as deposit-related or mine

Mining - Mining - Surface mining: It has been estimated that more than two-thirds of the world's yearly mineral production is extracted by surface mining. There are several types of surface mining, but the three most common are open-pit mining, strip mining, and quarrying. These differ from one another in the mine geometries created, the …
