The aim of this study is to evaluate the stability and excavatability of newly stripped rock slopes (slope 1 (SN–1), slope 2 (SN–2), and slope 3 (SN–3)) in a limestone quarry. These are new production sites with comparable geological formations along the southern part of the quarry where three planar failures were previously observed. For this reason, detailed fieldwork was performed to determine the properties (spacing, roughness, etc.) of the discontinuities of the rock slopes in the study area. The shear strength parameters of the discontinuities and the point load strength index (Is(5o)) and the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock samples obtained from the study area were tested in the laboratory. The stability of the slopes was...
