K-MINE Module
Stability Analysis
- for experts in open pit bench and wall stability.
- for professionals responsible for rock mass movement monitoring and stability margins.
Stability Analysis Using Block Models
With the Stability Analysis module, you can perform various stability analysis operations, including stability assessment of dumps and open pit benches/walls in the homogeneous and heterogeneous rock mass, using a geomechanical model.
Pit Wall Stability Analysis – Hard Rocks
Using the K-MINE Stability Analysis module, you can explore the stability of a wall section formed by hard rocks with different physical and mechanical properties based on structural occurrence patterns.
Stability Analysis – Loose Rocks
Moreover, with K-MINE, you can calculate the stability of wall and bench sections formed by loose rocks with different physical and mechanical properties, with a consistent pattern of structural occurrence.
The deliverables are stability factors and graphs showing sliding wedges.
Seam Block Model
For stratified deposits, you can use the force polygon method for a heterogeneous environment and a block model for stability analysis.
Internal and External Dumps
With a three-dimensional graphic model of a dump, you can assess the stability of dump slopes at the design stage.
In addition, the module can draw a line with a recommended slope angle based on the user-defined stability factor.
Calculation methods include:
- Algebraic addition of forces
- With foundation uplift
- Force polygon method for a homogeneous environment
- Force polygon method for a heterogeneous environment
Frequently asked questions
What kind of licenses does K-MINE provide and how much are they?
K-MINE provides two types of licenses monthly or annual subscriptions and perpetual licenses. Please contact the K-MINE team to learn each module’s price.
How can the information be transferred from one module to another?
K-MINE is one stand-alone application with a single database, so no data transfer is necessary. Different teams can have access to data according to their user rights.
Is K-MINE a cloud-based software?
No, K-MINE is a desktop application, however, upon request, our team can install access on the Windows server where we can set up a cloud infrastructure.
