...J. Fan; R. K. Rowe Experiments are conducted to investigate leakage through circular GMB holes overlain and underlain by both tailings with various hole diameters and GMB thicknesses. Finite element analyses are performed to explore the effect of hydraulic conductivities (k) of subgrade...

...X. Tian; M. Fall Fibre-reinforced cemented paste backfill (F-CPB; a mixture of tailings, fibre, cement, and water) is exposed to non-isothermal curing environments in the field. However, no investigations have been conducted on the impact of non-isothermal curing environments on F-CPB compressive...

... on a compacted silty-sand underliner and backfilled with saturated fine tailings at 65% solids content, is investigated. For the 1 mm thick geomembranes without holes, the gap beneath the wrinkle was eliminated (but the geomembrane was excessively strained) at an applied total stress of 250 kPa, whereas...

... for metals (Al, As, Cd, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Ni, Sr, Zn) are reported for the following four cases where a GCL might serve as an effective barrier material to metals and metalloids: acidic rock drainage, gold mine tailings, lime-treated mine effluent, and municipal solid waste. The average diffusion...
