Abstrak

The southern slope of the Gacko open-pit mine shows pronounced instability after an earthquake and a large water intrusion during 2022, which led to terrain deformations and interruption of exploitation. The aim of the work is to, based on engineering geological, geophysical, hydrogeological and laboratory research, examine the structure and behavior of the slope, identify key instability mechanisms and define basic remediation measures. Eleven engineering geological units of different properties were identified, including particularly unfavorable zones with plastic clays and degraded marls, as well as a predisposed slip plane at the contact of unit 1N and limestone 2K. Geodetic measurements confirm continuous movements. The results allow for a reliable understanding of the instability process and the definition of remediation solutions necessary for safe exploitation.
