Journal ArticleDOI
Studies of the influence of non-linear stress-strain characteristics in soil-structure interaction
TL;DR: In this paper, the measured non-liqear stress-strain properties of a low plasticity clay are used in the finite element analysis of footings, piles, excavations and pressuremeter tests to assess the influence of small strain nonlinearity in comparison with linear elastic behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cemented paste backfill for mineral tailings management: Review and future perspectives
Chongchong Qi,Andy Fourie +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize recent progress in CPB design, with particular emphasis on flocculation and sedimentation, CPB mix design and CPB pipe transport, and provide an updated picture of underlying mechanisms, experimental techniques, influencing factors and recent frontiers for each abovementioned process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recycling phosphogypsum and construction demolition waste for cemented paste backfill and its environmental impact
TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the feasibility of recycling two different solid wastes, phosphogypsum (PG) and construction demolition waste (CDW), as cemented paste backfill (CPB).
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural network and particle swarm optimization for predicting the unconfined compressive strength of cemented paste backfill
TL;DR: An intelligent technique is proposed for predicting the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of CPB using a combination of the artificial neural network (ANN) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).
Journal ArticleDOI
Static liquefaction as a possible explanation for the Merriespruit tailings dam failure
TL;DR: In 1994, the Merriespruit gold tailings dam in South Africa failed, resulting in 17 deaths, and the post-failure investigation provided no explanation as to why the catastrophic flow failure occurred.
