Description
Summary:PT XYZ which is a coal open mining company plans to optimize coal reserves at the Mining Business Permit Area (WIUP). This study is conducted to analyze the overall slope stability conditions on the lowwall and highwall slopes based on the PT XYZ Life of Mine (LOM) design and to provide a geotechnically safe overall slope geometry recommendation as refferen for optimizing the amount of mined reserves in WIUP owned by PT XYZ. In accordance with Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 1827K/30/ MEM/2018, slope stability analysis is performed by calculating the safety factor (FK) of the LOM slope design statically and dynamically, and by calculating probability of failure (PK). The PK calculation is preceded by determination of distribution function obtained through the processing of goodness of fit test using Kolmogorov-Smirnov method and Akaike Information Criterion test for cohesion, friction angle, and density data of the slope materials. The result of the goodness of fit test processing is selected the best distribution and produce input parameters in the Monte-Carlo simulation method using Slide 6.0 software. Simulation results for the slope of Pit A highwall at pore water pressure factor (hu): 0,6 and 0,8 are stable with probability of failure (PK) of 0% and the value of dynamic safety factor (FK) are respectively 1,86 and 1,60. The slope of Pit C highwall, that has PK value of 0%, is stable at hu 0,6 with dynamic FK value of 1,51, but is unstable at hu: 0,8 with dynamic FK values of 1,23 (below 1,5). The slope of Pit A lowwall at hu: 0,6 and 0,8 are stable with PK of 0% and the dynamic FK values are respectively, 2,23 and 1,95. The slope of Pit C lowwall at hu: 0,6 and 0,8 are unstable with PK values ranging between 8,4%-100% and dynamic FK values ranging from 0,45-1,09 (below 1,3). Based on the results, the slope design recommendations are given by reducing the slope steepness, reducing the slope height, and changing the geometry of a single slope, therefore the value of dynamic safety factor (FK) for the slope of Pit C highwall at hu: 0,8 of 1,69 is obtained. While for the slope of Pit C lowwall at hu: 0,6 and 0,8, the PK value is around 0%-0,3% and the dynamic FK value is between 1,35 - 1,81.
