Evaluación de la estabilidad de los taludes en un sector de la cantera de materiales pétreos "Las Victorias"

Abstract

The slope stability in engineering or mining is vital to ensure normal development of effective and safe engineering and mining works. THE present work presents the evaluation of the stability of slopes in an area of the quarry "The Victories" by geomechanical characterization of the rock mass affected and determination of the safety factor of the slope, information which will be assessed by measurements in situ and existing information, for this applies: friction circle method, method Markland and Dips v5.103 and GEO5 software. With the results obtained we can say that there is overall stability in the slopes of the massif, and by closer study pointed out that there is achieved local instability in certain areas because of landslides and blasting. Among the recommendations proposed for stability are: Geometric Correction, building berms, cleansing and Blasting Control.
