Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The article describes a technical approach to justification of pitwall parameters based on an integrated geomechanical research of pitwall rock mass using cores from specially drilled earth bores. The sizes of structural blocks, the rock mass quality index and structural weakness coefficient are determined. The strength characteristics of rocks and their physical properties are studied on a laboratory scale. Estimates of pitwall stability using different methods show a good agreement. The optimal pitwall parameters are recommended.
