ABSTRACT
Open-pit slope stability is a key technical dilemma for the high efficiency of the mine safety mining. With the increase of mining depth, the stope slope gradually increases as well as the failure probability, thus the study on open-pit slope stability turns to be increasingly important. Fault especially downslope fault is often encountered in the rock slope. It undermines the integrity of the rock slope, leading to the discontinuous of displacement and stress of rock mass. Besides it forms a potential slip boundary. Research on the stability of open-pit slope containing a downslope fault is a complex work, but it is also of great significance.
