Understanding the geotechnical properties of iron ore tailings is currently one of the major challenges in the mining industry. With transitions from drained to undrained conditions occurring in seconds, recent dam problems have been a challenge to solve with classical soil mechanics, which provides few means to explain how such phenomena develop. There...
View ArticleButadiene-styrene copolymer (SBR) is an elastomer composed of 75% butadiene and 25% styrene and is widely used in the automotive industry in tire production. This elastomer can be produced from two polymerization processes: emulsion or solution polymerization. This paper presents the mechanical behavior of a polymer reinforced sand compared to pure sand...
View ArticleThis paper deals with engineering geological properties of Qadis Khordak dam site in Northwest Afghanistan. This study is based on on-site and laboratory tests, surface discontinuity surveying, drilled borehole and permeability test of dam foundation. The engineering geological properties at the dam site were studied in order to evaluate geotechnical ch...
View ArticleMining is an important economic activity in the modern world. However, despite the generated benefits, mining produces tremendous volumes of tailings, an environmental liability with numerous adverse effects. Researches about contaminant transport in tailings dam are important to assess the degree of contamination and to propose preventive or remedial m...
