ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of an investigation that was carried out in order to analyze the stability of slopes in Maydook open cast mine. Field and laboratory investigations were carried out and the obtained mechanical, physical and structural properties of the rock mass were then used in the stability analysis models. The Maydook open cast mine was analyzed by finite difference method and the code utilized according to this method was FIAC. Results of the analysis that are presented as contours of stress, displacement and safety factor show that there are no plane failure in the mine.
