Open-Pit Bench Geometry Design

Design open-pit mine bench geometry including bench height, width, face angle, and inter-ramp angle based on catchment width requirements and slope stability per Rock Engineering Society standards.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Design open-pit mine bench geometry including bench height, width, face angle, and inter-ramp angle based on catchment width requirements and slope stability per Rock Engineering Society standards

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Catchment width requirements — The catchment width requirements recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Slope stability per Rock Engineering Society standards — The slope stability per rock engineering society standards recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the open-pit bench design result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the catchment width requirements, slope stability per Rock Engineering Society standards for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Design open-pit mine bench geometry including bench height, width, face angle, and inter-ramp angle based on catchment width requirements and slope stability per Rock Engineering Society standards. Use the open-pit bench design result to inform your clinical assessment.
