Methodology for determining the scope of reclamation works when forming recreational zone in the quarry residual space

Abstract

The article is devoted to the development of methodological recommendations aimed at increasing the recreation territory during reclamation, taking into account the flooding of the quarry residual space. Calculations of the reclamation works volume during the forming of a recreation area on the quarry slope were made. The influence of the embankment section width of the soil in the flooded quarry space on the embankment geometric shape was established. Calculating method of the reclamation works volumes are proposed, taking into account the indicators of the slope inclination angle and the height of the embankment being formed. A scheme for the safe recreation area location within the quarry residual space has been developed, which allows determining the necessary parameters of the mining elements that affect on the volume of embankments construction. A method of determining the volume of works for the formation of a recreation area in the quarry is proposed, taking into account the embankment width and height, the resulting slope angle, the safe angle of mining rocks inclination at the dumping into flooded quarry. It has been established that the volume of reclamation depends on the embankment parameters when the quarry watered area is changed.
