Abstract

This paper proposes a method for dynamically controlling the working slope configuration in seasonal stripping open-pit coal mines. Constructing a bench group working slope model calculates the cyclic advancement time of the stripping working slope. A mathematical optimization model is then established to minimize the transport work of the overburden, and a Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) algorithm is employed to solve it. The method is applied to the Shengli West No. 2 open-pit coal mine, and the results show that the number of benches in the bench group is 5. The working bench width is 89 m, and the working slope advancement meets the stripping and mining engineering continuity requirements while minimizing the transport work of the overburden. The maximum advancement speed of the working slope under this configuration is 320 m/year. The paper also analyzes the working slope’s maximum advancement speed variation with changes in the bench combination form and cyclic advancement distance.
