Present investigation intends to examine the mechanical behaviour of compacted coal fly ash – carbide lime mixes to assess their potential use as a sub-base/base material for low volume roads. This study plans to compute the impact of carbide lime content and dry density on the properties (durability and strength) of compacted coal fl...
View ArticleConsolidation of soft sediments stored in the confined disposal facilities or mine tailing dams has challenged the scientists to come up with the best consolidation device for the past 50 years. Since the Terzaghi consolidation theory does not apply in soft sediments due to lack of permeability measurements and self-weight effect, the seepage-induced co...
View ArticleThe present work evaluates the behavior of 26 reinjectable and prestressed anchors executed during the construction of a ground anchored wall in the city of Congonhas, Minas Gerais, with the purpose of stabilizing a slope near a railway of MRS LogÃÂstica. It refers to a 4.5-m high retaining wall, 30 m in length, a...
View ArticleLithology volumetric estimation was performed from samples of drills using three-dimensional geostatistical techniques. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to test the accuracy and influencing factors. Next, procedures were applied to a case study related to the environment. The simulation results show that estimates obtained via block Kriging can be...
