Kinematic analysis of rock falls (Case study: Southeast wall of Sadat Siriz iron ore mine)

Kinematic analysis of slope stability is used to estimate the discontinuity potential along with thegeological structures. This method can be a suitable solution for slope stability analysis. In Sadat Sirizeiron mine the main which is used for all kinds of transportation is located at the bottom of the southeastwall. Different types of landslides mechanisms are a high possibility in this wall. Therefore, kinematicanalysis was performed in DIP ۷.۰ software using geo-mechanical and structure parameters. The purposeof this study is to stabilize the slopes of walls and benches from the possibility of all kinds of landslidesmechanisms.
