The stability of mine overburden dumps (OBD) is a critical factor in ensuring safe mining operations and preventing environmental degradation. This study investigated the effects of vegetation, particularly root systems, on the stability of mine overburden dump slopes. Using Plaxis 2D, the analysis examined the influence of root tensile strength, root depth, and slope angle variations on the factor of safety and overall slope stability. The results demonstrate that both root tensile strength and depth significantly enhance the FOS, with deeper and stronger roots providing greater stability. Variations in slope angle further highlight the importance of root depth in preventing slope failure. By analyzing these critical factors, this chapter offers valuable insights and practical guidance for improving slope safety in mining environments through the strategic use of vegetation to reinforce the soil mechanically.
