Abstract
The Rock Fallings, Shale Slopes Stability, and Stability Risk Assessment in Şırnak open pit asphaltite mining should be searched in detail and improved in several coal mining sites in Şırnak Province, reaching over 120 m height with 60–65 degree shale slopes, developing major landslide in the open pit Şırnak open pit coal mining. The rock fallings endangered the mining safety in recent years. This research provided stability patterns and cementing method strengthening cracks. The stages of experimentation explored the geo-technical characteristics and geoological formation. Fort his aim, four different open pit mining areas with similar geotechnical conditions, two main strengthening methods, and patterns of researches were developed. Firstly, data on landslides and rock dynamics over explosions were followed, and secondly, as happened commonly in the past, the same geological, geomorphologic, hydrological, climatic conditions were taken. Anchorage pile strengthenıng of slopes and cementing falling stone blocks were performed by mixtures of melted waste plastics/asphalt and fly ash for stability of higher slopes over 120 m height and over 65 degree in asphaltite mining site in Silopi and Avgamasya open pit No.1 mining site in Şırnak were carried out. On the other hand, due to that creep style rock falling from top of slopes, those melted polymer cementing of anchorage bolting and cracks, to eliminate those falling failure types and features, will be advantageous. The unconditional expectations related to this study was also defined for this region, such as the influence of the ground water, rock cracks and slope design, and explosion exchange dynamics leading to landslide. GEO5 software and manual stability analysis showed high risk area for plotting.

The unconditional expectations related to this study were defined for this region such as the influence of the ground water, rock cracks and slope design, and explosion exchange dynamics leading to landslide
According to the information obtained from the drillings carried out by the Mining Bureau of Şirnak Administration Authority, the thickness of the slope varies between 11 and 20 m
Compressive load values in the calculation of design model slope stability cards were given as equation below: Xi F 1⁄4 NiFi 1⁄4 Ni
Summary
Engineering geotechnical properties of surface units were determined by making geological map of Şırnak province and surrounding areas [1–5]. Geological and geotechnical analyzes of the slopes should be carried out in order to minimize the economic and social losses and casualties caused by landslides In this direction, within the coal mining area of Şırnak Avgamasya and Silopi, open pit mining was carrying high landslide or rock falling risk (Figure 1a). GEO5 software and manual stability analysis showed high risk area for plotting (Figure 2) Another issue for the province of Şırnak is the causes of the damages that may occur in possible explosions and earthquake shock waves caused by human conditions which are due to the engineering errors as well as the lack of control mechanism and construction defects in the excavating process.
