Large amounts of waste rock are produced during mining operations and often disposed of
in large piles. Particle size segregation usually occurs during waste rock disposal, which can …

Waste rock segregation and heterogeneity can increase the hydrogeotechnical and
geochemical instability of waste rock piles, but characterising segregation quantitatively in …

Abstract In this study, Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) was employed as a sandwich
technique around the geogrid to enhance the pullout resistance of the geogrid in clayey …

The granular shear-transformation-zone (STZ) model is an energy-based constitutive model
for studying granular materials subjected to vibration. This paper provides a detailed …

Mixed or intermediate soils are widely used in the construction of embankment dams.
Unfavourable climate conditions and poor quality control may result in the use of mixed soils …

Pumping tailings slurry into geotextile bags is a burgeoning method employed to build
tailings dams with improved tailings management. Fine contents bring great challenges for …

Mining operations generate large amounts of waste rock which are generally disposed of on
the surface. Waste rock disposal using push-dumping and end-dumping methods usually …

By fulfilling the requirements by modern design criteria, the filter of an embankment dam is
typically designed to satisfy strict filtering and drainage properties. Nonetheless …
