Gold Tailings

Tailings may undergo desiccation stress history under varied climatic and depositional parameters. While tailings substantially dewatered prior to deposition may experience desiccation under the greatest range of climatic variation, even conventionally deposited tailings may desiccate in arid climates at lower rates of rise. Bench-scale research has shown that the stress history imparted by desiccation substantially improves strength in gold tailings. The present study further investigates this phenomenon by simulating multi-layer deposition of high-density tailings using a modular drying box, 0.7 m by 1 m in plan. The box is instrumented for directly measuring evaporation, drainage, water content, vertical volume change, and matric suction. Additional measurements included total suction at the surface as well as observations of crack development. The dewatering behaviour conforms to that predicted by previously published generic modelling, specifically that the presence of partially desiccated tailings initially accelerates, but then decelerates dewatering of fresh tailings. The shear behaviour of samples obtained using buried tubes and by driving thin-wall tubes into the multi-layer simulation are compared with shear behaviour of samples from bench-scale experiments. Shear strength of samples from the multi-layer simulation is independent of the sampling method, and shows higher strength than the bench-scale samples. The higher strength may be due to the greater number of wet–dry cycles or other age-related processes.

This study aims to investigate the effect of consolidation shear stress magnitude on the shear behaviour and non-coaxiality of soils. In previous drained bi-directional simple shear test on Leighton Buzzard sand, it is showed that the level of non-coaxiality, which is indicated by the angle difference between the principal axes of stresses and the corresponding principal axes of strain rate tensors, is increased by increasing angle difference between the direction of consolidation shear stress and secondary shearing. This paper further investigated the relation and includes results with higher consolidation shear stresses. Results agree with the previous relation, and further showed that increasing consolidation shear stresses decreased the level of non-coaxiality in tests with angle difference between 0° and 90°, and increased the level of non-coaxiality in tests with angle difference between 90° and 180°.

Inconel 690

The high strain shear rate behaviour of Inconel 690 alloy was investigated by using the split Hopkinson torsional bar. The shear strain rates were tested at 900 s−1, 1900 s−1, and 2600 s−1and at temperatures of −100°C, 25°C, and 300°C, respectively. It was found that the dynamic shear behaviour of Inconel 690 alloy was sensitive to strain rate and temperature. The fracture shear strain increased with increasing strain rate and temperature. In addition, the strain rate sensitivity was increased with increasing strain and strain rate but decreased with increasing temperature. Finally, the fracture surfaces were found to contain dimple-like features, and the dimple density increased with increasing strain rate and temperature.

Soil Interface

The behaviour of the soil-structure interface is crucial to the design of a pile foundation. Radial unloading occurs during the process of hole boring and concrete curing, which will affect the load transfer rule of the pile-soil interface. Through large shear tests on the interface between clay and concrete, it can be concluded that the normal stress history significantly influences the shear behaviour of the interface. The numerical simulation of the bored shaft-soil interaction problem requires proper modelling of the interface. By taking the energy accumulated on the interface as a hardening parameter and viewing the shearing process of the interface as the process of the energy dissipated to do work, considering the influence of the normal stress history on the shearing rigidity, a mechanical model of the interface between clay and concrete is proposed. The methods to define the model parameters are also introduced. The model is based on a legible mathematical theory, and all its parameters have definite physical meaning. The model was validated using data from a direct shear test; the validation results indicated that the model can reproduce and predict the mechanical behaviour of the interface between clay and concrete under an arbitrary stress history.
