Landslide hazard zones determination on open pit mine edge by circular seismic sounding method

Abstract

Herein there is an algorithm and method of processing the experimental data obtained by a circular seismic sounding method that makes it possible to increase accuracy in determining an anisotropy coefficient of the ground mechanical properties. The coefficient value is mutually related to the deformation processes at the initial stages of landslide formation. There are results of data processing of the field seismic studies of the adjacent ground at the Angrenskiy coal mine that allow establishing boundaries for the potentially landslide-prone zones, as well as a numerical criterion to predict rock stability under the given conditions.
