Abstract

Open pit mining operations develop the largest engineered excavations of any kind, one of which is illustrated in Fig. 2.1 . For pit slopes in small and large operations, there is a requirement to monitor performance during construction to ensure the safety of the workforce and that the design will be achieved with the anticipated economic recovery of the ore reserves.
