Geotechnical Analysis Software for Mining

Geotechnical Assessment for Mine Design

Evaluate rock mass strength, joint orientation, and groundwater conditions. Feed geotechnical parameters directly into pit design and slope stability workflows.

K-MINE geotechnical analysis evaluates rock mass strength, discontinuity orientation, and hydrogeological conditions to generate design parameters used directly in pit slope and underground excavation workflows. Classify rock mass quality using RMR, Q-system, and GSI frameworks. Map structural domains, model joint set orientations, and assess groundwater pore pressures to define geotechnical design sectors that control slope angles and support requirements throughout the operation.

Limit Equilibrium Analysis

Calculate factor of safety using Bishop Simplified, Janbu, and Force Polygon methods with support for groundwater conditions, tension cracks, and bench loads across heterogeneous slopes.

Finite Element Stress Modeling

Evaluate stress-strain distribution and deformation behavior using FEM for complex geometries where standard limit equilibrium assumptions are insufficient.

Rock Mass Rating & Classification

Enter physical-mechanical properties, strength parameters, and bench structure to classify geotechnical risk and identify potentially unstable zones by sector.

Cross-Section Visualization

Build cross-sections through pit walls combining drillhole data, block model properties, and interpreted geology to visualize faults, stratification, and stability-critical features.

Slope Condition Monitoring

Track displacement and groundwater indicators over time, set thresholds to flag changes requiring review, and validate analysis assumptions against observed behavior.

Results Export to Pit Design

Store geotechnical properties and ratings directly in block model fields, generate stability reports with factor of safety outputs, and share results for sector-based slope angle decisions.
