As for fracture development and potential instability in the open-pit bench slopes in Dabaoshan in Guangdong Province, the blockiness was proposed to be taken as a quantitative measure of rock mass integrity. Based on the existing data, 72 potentially unstable zones on the western slope were identified. The structural characteristics of the rock mass were analyzed based on investigation of fracture occurrence characteristics and 3D fracture network modeling, and rock mass integrity was also evaluated by blockiness analysis. It is found that there are fully-developed fractures with good ductility in all the zones, creating the structural conditions for block formation; in 84.9% of the zones, the inclination angle of superior fractures and the slope inclination angle are supplementary, which can significantly reduce sliding risks; in 97.3% of the zones, the blockiness of rock mass is less than 27, indicating mild blockiness, good integrity of rock mass, and overall high stability. There are only rock mass with blockiness over 27 in Zone 6# and Zone 46#, presenting moderate blockiness. In these two zones, the rock mass structure is significantly degraded, leading to reduction in damage tolerance. It is concluded that there are potential risk of slope instability in those two zones, which should be taken as the focus in the subsequent disaster prevention and control for the slopes in Dabaoshan.
