Historically coal mining wastes have been viewed as heterogenous and hazard-prone
geomaterials. Given that failures of colliery tips and tailing dams are reported on a regular …

Roof fall in underground coal mines is a time-dependent process involving various
behaviors such as intact and failed rock, strain-softening, and strength degradation. Current …

Failure of tailings dams can result in significant spill, loss of human lives, and damages to
the environment and infrastructure. Cyclic loadings such as earthquakes and blasting are …

Most of tailings impoundments in China expose to a risk of both earthquake and freeze-thaw
effects. The seismic behavior of tailing soils in cold regions has drawn increasing attention in …

The present study mainly focuses on the evaluation of dynamic properties of silt-rich fly ash
from Renukoot, India, under large and small strain conditions using cyclic triaxial and …

This paper presents a field seismic investigation that is effective in evaluating the in situ
geotechnical properties and liquefaction potential of fine coal tailings subjected to mine …

There are growing evidence indicating that earthquakes occur more frequently in the
Chinese Loess Plateau, which can possibly cause saturated intact loess liquefaction …

Surface mining may be humanity's most tangible impact on Earth's surface and will become
more prevalent as the energy transition progresses. Prediction of post-mining landscape …

Dynamic instability is often cited as a significant issue while using fly ash for landfilling and
land reclamation. Even though traditional cementitious binders have the potential to mitigate …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the effects of strain history and aging
on cyclic response and resistance of fine-grained coal refuse (FCR) using large-scale …
