description With the large-scale exploitation of mineral resources, the safety problems of open-pit slopes and dumps become increasingly prominent. In this work, the safety demonstration of the interaction between the eastside slope of an open-pit quarry and the dump was carried out. Firstly, the influence of blasting vibration on the stability of the eastside slope and the dump was analyzed, and the propagation law of blasting vibration wave and the attenuation law of velocity were obtained. Secondly, the finite element analysis of the seepage field of the slope was carried out, and the basic seepage parameters of the rock and soil were determined. Then, the limit equilibrium analysis method was used to quantitatively calculate the stability of the eastside slope of the stope under the load of the dump to assess landslide risk. The results show that no landslides would occur at the dump or affect the performance of the slope, and that the slope was able to reach the required safety reserve factor. Then, through the finite element analysis of the 3-3 profile, it was found that the deformation caused by the excavation unloading of the eastside slope was mainly concentrated in the lower part of the slope, and the displacement variation caused by the top area of the slope was about 0~10 mm. The research verified the stability of slope and dump, which provides technical support for slope project design and blast operation in open-pit quarries.
