Abstract

Limestone mining for cement plants uses a blasting method to break the material. Blasting production is considered successful when it can achieve production targets based on tonnage of uncovered rock, efficient use of explosives, grain size or rock fragmentation, and environmental impact. This research aims to analyze the blasting geometry on the production results at the research location by knowing the initial design, the actual blasting geometry, and the geometry recommendation using the C.J. Konya method. In addition, researchers also know the explosives used, the production results in the form of material fractionation using the Kuz-Ram method and the tonnage of uncovered rocks. The initial design with a burden of 3.4 m, spacing of 3.4 m, hole depth of 5.9 m, and ANFO explosives per hole of 33 kg produced 147.31 tonnages. The actual geometry with a burden of 1.7 m, spacing of 3.5 m, hole depth of 6.0 m and ANFO explosives per hole of 26.73 kg produced a 77.11 tonnage. The actual geometry resulted in a blasting production of 6,941 tonnes per day, which did not meet the company's production target 10,639. The fragmentation calculation results obtained an average size in the field of 15.29 cm, which meets the required screening or sieve criteria of 0.80 - 1.00 m. The size of the fragments also follows the sieve calculation using the Kuz-Ram method, with a 100 cm sieve passing only 0.01%. Based on this, the company is recommended to make geometry changes to achieve the production tonnage target that has been set.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the stability of an open-pit coal mine slope at the Southern Pit, Block F, PT Garda Tujuh Buana Tbk, located in Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan Province. The multi-bench mining system forms a 95 m high slope with an overall slope angle of 35°, consisting of soil, claystone, sandstone, siltstone, and coal layers. Slope stability analysis was conducted under static conditions using the Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) through Slide2 software, applying the Morgenstern–Price and Spencer methods. The geotechnical input parameters were obtained from laboratory testing of 51 material samples. The analysis results showed deterministic Factors of Safety (FoS) of 1.239 using the Morgenstern–Price method and 1.241 using the Spencer method, with a very small difference of 0.002. Probabilistic analysis resulted in a Probability of Failure (PF) of 0.000% and a Reliability Index (RI) greater than 4.8 for both methods, indicating that the risk of slope failure under current static conditions is very low. The identified critical slip surface extends from the crest to the toe of the slope, indicating an overall slope failure mechanism. Based on the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Number 1827 K/30/MEM/2018, the minimum FoS criterion for an overall slope is 1.30. Although the slope is currently considered stable because the FoS is greater than 1.0, the FoS values below the required safety criterion place the slope in the critical or marginally stable category. Slope management strategies are therefore recommended, including periodic FoS evaluation, regular geotechnical monitoring, groundwater level monitoring, and adjustment of slope geometry according to the design to prevent potential slope failures in the future.
