Engineering Properties of Mine Tailings

摘要: The engineering properties of tailings from nine mines are summarized to demonstrate that these good materials. Such as gradation, specific gravity, mineral content, laboratory maximum and minimum density, in-place density moisture, permeability, triaxial shear data, one-dimensional compression data presented in graphical tabular form. Presented is an example usage constructing a 4-mile section Interstate 90 near Kellogg, Idaho, proving can be used construct modern high-capacity freeway. theoretical design small earth dam also given could build with adequate factors safety. It strongly felt the material will promote interest employment mill future construction projects for both structural environmental reasons.
