Pit Slope Stability

Pit Slope Stability is a geotechnical engineering concept referring to the structural resistance of open-pit mine excavation slopes to failure under hydrological and mechanical loading conditions, specifically distinguished by its dependence on groundwater pressure reduction and dewatering-induced stress changes in fractured rock masses.
