T/CSRME 005-2020 Technical Specifications for Obtaining the Shear Strength of Structural Planes in Rock Masses on the Slope of Open-pit Mines
T/CSRME 005-2020 Guidance for obtaining shear strength of rock mass structures on open-air mining slopes
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This procedure is applicable to the stability evaluation of open-pit mine slopes controlled by rigid structural planes, with potential slope failure modes of plane or wedge-shaped sliding. It also provides guidance for the investigation, design, consultation, and construction of open-pit mine slopes. Main technical contents: 1. General provisions 2. Terms and symbols 3. Basic requirements 4. Field investigation of rock mass structural planes 5. Determination of the object for obtaining the shear strength of rock mass structural planes 6. Obtaining the shear strength of rock mass structural planes 7. Values of shear strength of rock mass structural planes considering size effect 8. Values of parameters of shear strength of rock mass structural planes
