Prof. RAM MANOHAR BISHWAL

Assistant Professor
 OBJECTIVE:

• DETERMINING THE SUITABLE VICTIM MINE

• ACQUIIRING PREVIOUS DATA ON THE MODEL(MINE)
• PHOTOGRAPHICAL SURVEY / QUESTIONARIES
• RISK IDENTIFICATION
• MODEL FOR EVALUATING RISK
• HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
• MODEL FOR HAZARD CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (WSRHC)
 RISK ASSESSEMENT

RISK ARISES FROM A SERIES OF ACTIVITIES

NOT A PARTICULAR WORK.
THESE SERIES OF WORKS ARE CALLED
CONSEQUENCES.

ADVANTAGES:
1. THREAT MANAGEMENT
2. IMPROVED PERFORMANCES
RISK ASSESSMENT PATH
RISK MATRIX
QUALITATIVE APPROACH TO RATE
RISK
• Qualitative method is used to get the risk ratings and the likelihood state of a risk.
• These ratings are based on the observation from the site and some are from the past accidents those
involved risks.
 HAZARD CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

• DSR (DUMP STABILITY RATING)

 Established a numerical index based on consideration of 11 factors.

 Point ratings were assigned to each factor

 These weighted factors were only based on the researcher’s perception and past
events .
 Higher DSR values inferred lower relative stability and vice versa.
 One of the key attributes of the DSR system is the recognition that many factors
can impact the stability of a waste dump.

• WSRHC (waste dump and stockpile stability rating and hazard classification)
 The system incorporates many of the concepts that were used in the 1991- DSR system; however, the
structure is somewhat different.
 The new system requires evaluation of 22 key factors or attributes that are thought to affect stability
 Numerical ratings are assigned to each factor, and the sum of these ratings defines the waste dump and
stockpile stability rating (WSR).
 CASE STUDY- BHUBANESWARI MINES

DUMP CHARACTERISTICS VALUES

• The main rock types found in the area are diamictite 1. EXTERNAL DUMP HEIGHT 70 m

• Fine to medium grained sandstone, shale, medium to coarse 1. AVERAGE SLOPE ANGLE 35-41 deg

grained sandstone, sandy shale and turbidites. 1. MAJOR ROCK TYPES Friable rock

• Occurrence of coal seams has been established along the

1. SOIL TYPE OF DUMP Sandy+ lateritic
western fringe and northern boundary of Talcher coalfield.
1. TENSION CRACKS 0.5-1.0 m

1. WATER PRESENT Heavily damaged

   
• From the above model and formulation the WSR came out to be 30.55 which comes under the category of 20-40 WSR
and WHC-IV which is highly hazardous.

This suggests that a great measure of precaution needs to be taken to avoid all these consequences:

• The study area experiences continuous mass movement particularly in rainy season and, needs proper attention to
stabilize it.
• A proper drainage gallery and sealing of the cracks will prevent the water percolation in slope mass and reduce the
pore-water pressure, which will further improve the FoS.
• The height and slope angle of the dump slope has to be managed to reduce the slope failure.

• The proper dump management is require for suitable site selection and must ensure that there is no disturbance below
the slope
