For the design of a pit wall, several combinations of bench height, bench face angle and berm width may be used to satisfy stability criteria. The bench face angle and the berm width must be chosen to fit the bench stack angle. The berm must also be wide enough to contain the volume of wedge material from the bench faces above, in the event of ...

Read MoreBenching in open-pit mining is a common method to protect workers and equipment in the lower part of the wall against falling rocks from higher benches. For this purpose, the berm should be of a certain width. Ritchie (1963) proposes the following rolling rock criteria for the minimal berm width Amin in accordance to the bench height H:
