On the Question of Predicting Deformations in the Vicinity of a Deep Quarry in a Tectonically Stressed Rock Mass

One of the key safety concerns at the Kachar open-pit mine -currently exceeding 500 meters in depth -is the management of unstable slopes caused by stress-induced effects.High horizontal compressive stresses in the rock mass have a complex influence on slope stability.To analyze slope behavior as mining progresses toward the projected depth of 760 meters, a comprehensive methodology combining numerical modeling and geodetic monitoring was adopted.This integrated
