Abstract

A mine premises with many working faces, roadways and workshops should have separate designated locations for mined out mineral/ore storage. Waste or reject material obtained after screening the raw material needs to be dumped in a separate location such that it should not cause danger to nearby infrastructures, working places, and flora & fauna. In this view, a stable dump having large height and occupying less land area has been great importance for any mining project in terms of optimised land utilization. Hence, dumps need to be designed carefully to make it stable for a long period of time.

The present paper discusses a case study wherein two unstable dump slopes of face reject material and one screen reject material located near a limestone mine have been successfully designed.
