8/1/2002 - Conference papersSlope stability accidents are a leading cause of fatalities at U.S. surface mines. NIOSH is conducting research to reduce these fatalities. This paper presents some of the research and potential new technologies for slope monitoring and design.
-
1/1/2000 - Conference papersNIOSH is investigating remote sensing technologies to detect, monitor, and mitigate surface mine hazards that lead to slope failure. A field-portable spectro-polarimetric imager and a stationary interferometric radar device are promising options.
-
12/1/1999 - Reports of InvestigationsMaterial properties affecting slope stability were measured in a large 50-year-old, partially consolidated rock dump located in an active open-pit mine. Field tests included single-ring infiltration and density.
-
8/1/1998 - Conference papersThis paper describes the potential adaption of systems such as interferometric synthetic aperture radar, imaging spectroscopy, and time-domain reflectometry, to slope monitoring and design.
