Bir açık ocak örneğinde yamaç molozu akma mekanizmasının belirlenmesi.

On 17 November 2016, 16 workers lost their lives as a result of a landslide in an open pit copper mine in Madenköy district of Siirt province in southeastern Turkey. The main aims of this study is to investigate the causes of the accident, to reveal its mechanism and to be prepared for such mass movements that may occur in the future. The study area consists from the north and getting younger towards the south. Further investigations have shown that hydrogeological conditions and geological structure are the most important factors affecting the units. A large number of boreholes were drilled to reveal the 3D features of the area and cross sections were obtained. The most critical geotechnical numerical cross section that best represents the mass movements was selected and the stability of the area was analysed by finite element method in dry and water saturated conditions using Plaxis 2D and 3D Connect Edition v22 software.
