Investigation of Instability Problems in the Çavuşcugöl Open Lignite Mine
(Konya Technical University, 2020) Özşen, Hakan; Kaygusuz, Berk; Kaya, Dursun
Slope failure may occur in slopes of open pits slopes, engineering works, highway and railway cuts and natural slopes in case of instability. These failures result in loss of life, economic losses and deterioration of the geometry. In order to prevent these undesired results, monitoring the instability on the slopes is essential. safety enhancement geotechnical revisions, rock fall prevention systems etc. must be established according to the results of monitoring studies. This study was carried out in Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKİ) Ilgın-Çavuşcugöl lignite open pit mine. As a result of the investigations and inspections conducted in the quarry, tension cracks were found. directed to Çavuşcugöl train station, which is 60 m far from the eastern slope of the quarry. Slope movements were monitored at certain intervals in a period of 112 days by using geodetic measurement method as a monitoring system. Deformation data of the slope were evaluated and a mathematical equation based on these movements was then developed. High correlation was determined between model results and real deformation data.
