The strength and deformation behaviors of granular soil depend on the material state, ie,
density and pressure. To interpret such state-dependent behavior, different state indices …

The critical state approach, based heavily on the use of the moist tamping (MT)
reconstitution method, is finding increasing application in tailings engineering practice …

A geotechnical investigation was carried out to characterise a subaqueously deposited,
primarily silt, iron ore tailings. Piezocone penetration tests (CPTu) were carried out followed …

A series of direct simple shear (DSS) tests were carried out on a non-plastic sandy silt lead−
zinc− silver tailings to develop a relationship between undrained shearing behaviour and …

Abstract On November 5, 2015, the Fundão tailings storage facility (TSF) failed, resulting in
significant tailings release and 19 deaths. Following the failure, a review panel was …

Abstract Part of the Harbor Bay Business Park, Alameda in California, showed evidence of
liquefaction during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, but this was accompanied by only …

A series of samples obtained from adjacent to piezocone penetration test (CPTu) locations
within a gold tailings storage facility with hypersaline pore fluid was tested to compare the …

Abstract The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) promotes
performance-based approaches in geotechnical assessments. Hence, characterizing the …

Preparation of tailings in the laboratory to simulate the likely range of densities and resulting
behaviour that will occur under load in situ is challenging. A number of issues of relevance …

The triaxial device remains, largely for good reason, the primary laboratory element test
used to characterise tailings. There are many aspects of tailings characterisation where the …
