Minimization of blasting effects on slope stability by suppressing surface wave method

Slope stability protection is one of the most significant aspect that has to be carefully investigated in open-pit mine. Although there are lots of influencing parameters of slope stability, the misimplementation techniques of blasting, the uncontrolled blastings that substantiate as a result of wrong choice in blasting agent and ignition systems have affected slope stability in a negative way. The blasting activity in the open-pits to the effect of slope stability has no scientific study field considering other parameters. So, the blasting is done as crushing and loading in low cost, low damage to rock in backside slope and nonthreatening for the slope stability are very important. In this study, the negative influences of the blasting for slope stability is investigated and smoothe blastings to repair these negative influences are designed in open-pits at the region of Çanakkale Çan and Bursa Orhaneli. A new method based on the principle of supressing surface wave is used instead of conventional methods while doing these designs. In the result of this study, both the nonthreatening of the slope stability and blasting affect that minimized damage to settlement are designed and practiced.
