Slope stability monitoring in the forefield of the open pit mine ČSA, Northwest Bohemia
Abstract
Extensive mining in the deep open pit mine CSA in Northwest Bohemia may influence the stability of the steep slopes of the Krusné hory Mts. Long-term tilt, induced seismicity and elevation measurements, besides some other observations, have been carried out in two exploration galleries to monitor geomechanical processes in the rock massif. Some non-tidal tilt anomalies proved to indicate forthcoming local induced microtremors documented by seismograms. The system appears to work as an efficient tool which should provide warning signals before a massif failure arrives.
