Abstract
The authors assess the effect of seismic vibrations induced by blasting in Biyanka gravel quarry and by movement of trains. The research was initiated in view of the accident in summer of 2017, which resulted in off-trip of two cars. The jointing structure of the rock slope is inspected, and the slope stability is assessed in some sites of the slope within the limits of the Asha railway haul. The recorded seismic vibrations in the rockfall-hazardous sites of the slope are less hazardous for the slope stability than the geological features of the slope, which are the cause of all rock falls. The recommendations on prevention of rock falls on the track are given.
