Rock slope stability analysis of a limestone quarry in a case …
In Case 1, a quarry slope with varying bench heights and fixed bench face angles (68°, 72°, 74°, and 76°) showed that steeper inter-ramp angles led to lower SRF and higher displacements (Fig. 30).

Getting the most value out of quarry royalties
Consequently, the Crown could not benefit from royalties from their assets until such time as a quarry or mine operator and/or the landowner let down the surface to gain access to the minerals. It is possible that the quarry operator could also pay a rent to the landowner by way of a royalty for being allowed to gain access to the minerals.

A short bench is not defined by a certain height, but instead by a figure commonly referred to as the stiffness ratio. The stiffness ratio is simply the bench height divided by the burden (Table 1), which means that a 10m bench that is being shot with a 2.2m burden (75mm packaged emulsion) would have a stiffness ratio of 4.5.
