ENGINEERING GEOLOGY CHARACTERISTICS OF A LANDSIDE AT SURFACE MINE “BUNARDZIK” IN MINE BUCIM-RADOVISH

Abstract

In this paper we have a presentation of the engineering-geologicalcharacteristics of a landslide found in the west end parts of the surface mine“Bunardzik” within the mine “Buchim” - Radovish. From a lithological aspectwe’re talking about schists and gneisses composed of amphibolite and biotite,partially covered with slope materials with very low strength. In the deeperparts of the terrain one can ind gneisses composed of amphibolite and biotitewith favorable geotechnical properties. The researching and analyzing ofthe terrain was done using appropriate methodology for ield investigationsand laboratory testing to deine the geotechnical situation of the terrainsurrounding the area of the landslide. The thesis also includes a presentation ofthe geological, geomechanical, and hydrogeological conditions of the terrainwhere the existing landslide is. Key words: landslide, surface mine, schists andgneisses, bulk density, shear strength.
