The main factor that determines the stability of the pit benches in rocky and semi-rocky rocks is geological and structural since potential collapse prisms of a particular configuration are formed by differently oriented ruptured faults (cracks) with certain spatial relationships between themselves and the pit surface. Evaluation of possible planar, wedge-shaped, and overturning collapses of individual benches is carried out by analyzing the parameters of structural disturbances identified within the rock mass of the studied section of the open pit relative to the orientation of open pit edges. The article presents the results of the analysis of the kinematic stability of the optimal parameters of the benches on the example of the Kurzhunkul open pit, which ensures their stability on the limiting contour. A sequence of actions is proposed for determining the stability parameters of rock benches in a quarry. Performing a kinematic analysis based on the identified systems of cracks allows us to determine the probable failure patterns of the slopes of the benches and select the calculation schemes for their stability to substantiate their optimal parameters and make decisions on their stabilization. Geological and structural zoning of the quarry space according to this method allows analyzing the holding capacity of safety berms to control detected collapses, to highlight benches that need to be brought into a safe state with the determination of their stable parameters, and to recommend options for optimizing the design profile.
