Based on the available literature this paper evaluates the environmental effects of copper mine tailings (CMT) when used as structural fill material in various geotechnical applications. Leaching of heavy metals from the CMT is considered as the vital factor hindering its wider acceptability among researchers and engineers. Therefore, apart from physical and chemical characteristics, due consideration was given to assess the leachability of CMT when used as structural fill in various geotechnical applications like subgrade, embankment, fill and reclamation. From the literature review, it was found that CMT seems to be satisfying the criteria meant for structural fill. Leachability test results show that only a very few elements concentration exceeded the limits in un-stabilized form. Stabilized CMT performed better by bringing down the concentration well below the permissible limits in all the application types. This encourages the utilization of CMT in structural fills and shows that environmental impacts are within the limits prescribed in standards.
