[Journal Article]SHAO Xingneng, SU Zhiqiang, ZHU Hong et al.-Opencast Mining Technology2025, No.05

Abstract:In order to elucidate the deformation and failure mechanism of the north slope in Xiaolongtan Open-pit Mine and the influencing factors,this article conducts stability analysis and prevention measures research on three typical profiles through on-site engineering geological investigation.The research results indicate that the north slope is in the early stage of weak deformation of the landslide and belongs to a potential large-scale translational landslide.The stability coefficient of the profile ranges from 1.041~1.085,and the overall state is under stable to basically stable.Further research has found that the stability of slopes is influenced by multiple factors such as topography,soil properties,and geological structures.Among them,surface water infiltration and groundwater seepage are the key factors that induce slope deformation.A treatment plan is proposed for blind ditch+precipitation,pressure reducing funnel measures(dewatering wells),slope cutting and load reduction of 2.1 million m3,and supporting"soil ditch+anti-seepage membrane"waterproof and drainage system.After calculation and verification,the minimum stability coefficient of the slope is increased to 1.159 under natural conditions and remain at 1.059 under earthquake conditions.

[Journal Article]MA Fenghu, LIU Zhifang, YIN Huimin et al.-Opencast Mining Technology2025, No.05

Abstract:An efficient and reasonable truck transportation scheduling plan is the key way to achieve the dual goals of saving cost and improving efficiency of mining enterprises.The existing truck scheduling research in open-pit mines is difficult to apply to the actual mine production guidance because of the lack of consideration of uncertain factors.A driverless truck scheduling model for open-pit mining is proposed,and the chance constrained goal programming method is used to balance the risks caused by the uncertainties in the solution of the scheme.The scheduling model is verified by an example,and on the basis of fully considering the uncertainties of the truck carrying capacity,the optimization strategy significantly promotes the improvement of mine transportation efficiency,not only realize the optimal reduction of transportation cost,but also significantly shorten the waiting time of trucks,and effectively reduce the overall deviation of ore grade between each unloading point,thus comprehensively optimizing the comprehensive benefit of mine production.

Study on change characteristics of reclaimed soil bulk density in Pingshuo Open-pit Mine
[Journal Article]LI Mingqing-Opencast Mining Technology2025, No.05

Abstract:In order to clarify the characteristics of soil bulk density changes in reclaimed areas and the response to reclamation time and methods,Pingshuo Open-pit Mine reclamation flat plate is taken as the research object.A combination of field sampling and indoor analysis is used to analyze the effects of different reclamation years and land use methods on soil bulk density numerical changes.The results show that the bulk density of the reclaimed flat soil ranged from 1.21 to 2.01 g/cm3,with an average of 1.58±0.17 g/cm3.As the depth of the soil layer increases,the soil bulk density shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.The soil bulk density decreases with the increase of reclamation time,and the soil bulk density after more than 20 years of reclamation is significantly lower than that of other reclamation periods(P<0.05).The soil bulk density of forest land is lower than that of cultivated land and grassland in all soil layers,while cultivated land only has a lower surface bulk density than grassland,and the soil layers of 20~60 cm and 60~100 cm are higher than grassland.There is an interaction between the reclamation period and land use mode.As the reclamation period increases,the soil bulk density of cultivated land increases,while the soil bulk density of forest land and grassland shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.Therefore,based on long-term reclamation results,forest and grassland reclamation have better effects.The research results can provide data support for soil improvement,soil quality improvement,and rational utilization of land resources in reclaimed land in mining areas,which also provide scientific basis for the implementation of land reclamation models and ecological reconstruction measures in mining areas.

[Journal Article]ZHU Jingkai, XIAO Jifei, HU Ping et al.-Opencast Mining Technology2025, No.05

Abstract:In order to study the evolution law of stress displacement of high and steep rock slope during excavation and unloading,FLAC3D software is used to analyze the stress displacement state of the slope,and the influence law of excavation depth and slope angle on the stress field,displacement field and stability of the slope during excavation is explored.The results show that the curvature radius of horizontal stress decreases with the increase of excavation depth,forming a"wedge"stress structure in the slope,and the peak horizontal stress decreases with the increase of excavation depth.The displacement increases with the increase of excavation depth,and the vertical displacement presents an arc spreading trend from the bottom plate to the bottom,and gradually evolves into a circular arc sliding trend with the continuous increase of excavation depth.With the increase of slope angle,the total displacement curve of slope body can be divided into three stages:steep increase in the early stage,slow increase in the middle stage and gentle development in the late stage.The stability coefficient of slope decreases with the increase of slope angle and excavation depth,and the potential failure mode is circular sliding failure.

[Journal Article]ZHANG Qiang, HE Dacheng, CHEN Baojian et al.-Opencast Mining Technology2025, No.05

Abstract:In order to master the slope deformation law of grand stand area in the east slope of Wucaiwan No.1 Open-pit Coal Mine,based on the geological section of the slope engineering,the numerical calculation model of the slope is established,and the displacement deformation law is analyzed by FLAC3D software.Combined with the displacement data of two monitoring points,the latent sliding mode and deformation characteristics of the slope are comprehensively analyzed.The results show that the failure mode of the slope is the bedding sliding failure mode along the coal seam floor.The local deformation area is formed at the dumping step and the original rock step,and the abandoned material resists the deformation of the original rock step.Displacement monitoring shows that the slope has an overall horizontal displacement trend to the free surface,and the discarded materials are in the stage of constant settlement.The deformation law of numerical simulation is consistent with the research results of monitoring deformation.

[Journal Article]WANG Ming, XU Changyou, MENG Xiangchun et al.-Opencast Mining Technology2025, No.05

Abstract:To address the progressive instability of soft rock dump slopes in open-pit coal mines under multi-factor coupling(self-weight,rainfall,blasting vibration,freeze-thaw),take the south external dump of Zahanao'er Open-pit Coal Mine as a case,based on rigid body limit equilibrium methods,FLAC3D finite difference method,and particle discrete element method,the slope failure mechanism and stability coefficient are systematically revealed.The results show that the slope exhibits dual failure modes—subsidence-sliding failure along quaternary weak layers and circular shear failure in dumped material zones.Under extreme conditions,the comprehensive safety factor is 1.20~1.25,meeting the long-term stability criteria for external dumps specified in relevant codes.Discrete element dynamic simulation predicts a maximum sliding distance of 4.3 m,volume of 9 690 m3,and velocity of 0.4~0.7 m/s,posing no impact on surrounding structures.The outcomes provide an accurate basis for safety assessments of structures near dump sites and serve as a reference for stability evaluation of external dumps and construction planning in similar mines.
