Static Liquefaction And Critical State Mechanics Of Gold Mine Tailings Subjected To Different Stress Paths, Amir Reza Fotovvat
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The mechanisms through which mine tailings fail have been the interests of many studies recently. In this series of studies, the flow liquefaction and instability behavior of gold mine tailings were examined within the framework of critical state soil mechanics. In the first study, the behavior of a gold mine tailings in stress paths involving extensional consolidation or shearing in extension was evaluated. Monotonic tests were carried out on isotropically and Ko-consolidated samples to assess the effect of stress-induced anisotropy and mode of shearing on the static liquefaction characteristics tailings. In the second study, the drained instability of …
