Geological Survey and Comprehensive Analysis of a Dangerous Slope in the Weibei Limestone Mine

Abstract

Abstract There are abundant limestone resources in Weibei area. However, under the influence of a complex geological environment and harsh external environment, they often suffer from various types of serious geological disasters, which seriously threaten the safety of the people in the mining area and the development of mining resources. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out relevant governance. Firstly, combined with the field engineering geological data of a typical limestone quarry slope in Weibei, this paper makes a detailed geological survey of the study area. Then, the geometric model of the limestone mine slope is established to analyze the stress relationship between each block and its failure mode. Finally, a deep Newtonian force monitoring and early-warning system is set up in the dangerous area of large deformation of the slope to carry out the early warning treatment of reinforcement. The results show that (1) limestone is the main component of the mine, followed by mudstone, with developed joints and fissures, broken rock mass, and high hidden danger of engineering geological disasters; (2) in addition to bending and toppling failure on the surface of the mine slope, there are three failure modes: toppling failure along the joint surface, combined failure along the joint and plane, and failure along the outward structural plane; and (3) the NPR anchor cable is used to strengthen the slope, and the real-time monitoring of the slope force changes is realized, which has a particular reference significance for the study of similar significant deformation failure mechanisms of the slope and imminent slide warning.
