2022 Modelling and Operational Management of the Dawson Pit 6-8 Lowwall Instability
A case study of a deep-seated spoil lowwall instability controlled by a classical active-passive wedge mechanism at Anglo American Metallurgical
2019 Shear Strength Characterisation for Very-High Coal Mine Spoil Dumps: Applicability of an Industry-accepted Framework
Selection of appropriate shear strength parameters for mine spoil slope stability analysis and design is difficult because it requires prohibitively
2019 Design of a 720-mm Square Direct Shear Box and Investigation of the Impact of Boundary Conditions on Large-Scale Measured Strength
Large-scale direct-shear equipment is described and experimental results are presented showing the influence of test boundary conditions on direct shear
2018 Scale-Effect Considerations for Shear Strength Assessment of Coal Mine Spoil
One of the most debated subjects among mine geotechnical practitioners is the degree to which shear strength measurements obtained from
2015 Unsaturated Shear Strength of Coal Mine Spoil
Coal mine waste rock (spoil) is a weak granular material derived from rocks of sedimentary origin. There are plans for
2015 Large Scale Testing of Mine Spoil
This paper presents the results of an experimental study in which a strong Permian mine spoil from the Hunter Valley,
2015 A Trilinear Shear Strength Envelope For Coal Mine Spoil
Currently, linear Mohr failure strength envelopes are commonly used in the Australian coal industry for shear strength estimation of spoil
2013 Practical Considerations for the Triaxial Testing of Mine Wastes
Triaxial testing of mine wastes is commonly undertaken to provide shear strength estimates for stability assessments of mine waste storage
2013 Practical Considerations for Direct Shear Testing of Mine Spoils
Civil engineering laboratories use the direct shear test to provide shear strength parameters for soils under drained conditions. Standard shear
