ABSTRACT
Anthropogenic slope deformations originating on the side slope of the giant open pit coal mine ČSA in North Bohemian brown coal basin, Czech Republic, are analysed. On the basis of the author’s systematic field documentation of slope deformations in a period of more than twenty years, the side slope is divided into quasihomogeneous units according to behaviour of the rock massif. A statistical analysis of general slope gradients in the overburden supplied data for a probabilistic model relevant to real stability conditions in the mine.
