摘要

Recently, large-scale opencast mining activities in India have led not only to the increased generation of large volumes of overburden (OB) dump materials, but also to the transportation of huge volumes of loose geo-materials from coal faces to areas specifically designated for storing these materials in the form of external or internal dumps. The preparation of large-sized dumps is becoming a challenging task for the mining administration from two important perspectives, namely the limited availability of surface leasehold land for dumping geo-materials, and the associated problems of managing the increasing heights of these geo-structures. Normally, the assessment of stability, and taking proper steps to stabilise these external OB dumps, is a trivial task, but because of the increased risks involved with geo-hazards, the design and monitoring of such dumps is currently becoming critical for the production/operation of any mining organisation. Thus, a knowledge and awareness of the detailed nature and mechanical properties of the selected geo-materials present at these sites is becoming more important for stability assessment of OB dumps. In this study, the collected geo-materials (which are agglomerates of broken rocks and loose soil) were tested to evaluate their geotechnical parameters such as grain size distribution, soil permeability, compaction parameters, shear and normal strength characteristics, etc. These tests show that testing of geo-materials from one site is not sufficient for complete and proper site characterisation that would allow these values to be used subsequently in numerical modelling to quantify the stability of OB dumps. Therefor, it was decided that a geotechnical database for groups of geo-materials needs to be generated for the complete evaluation of OB dump stability for all mine sites in the areas of interest.
