Critical state analysis of two compacted filtered iron ore tailings with different gradings and mineralogy at different stages of treatment
Slurry tailings storage in large impoundments has been largely used worldwide for a long time, as their cost is very competitive. However, recent...

Re-evaluation of Failure of Silo Tower Foundations
Silos were constructed in the early 1970s in most parts of Canada on soft deposits by farmers with no or little technical assistance. The majority of...
