Download or read book Discussion of Correlations for Fully Softened Shear Strength Parameters by B A Castellanos T L Brandon and D R VandenBerge This Article Was Published in Geotechnical Testing Journal Vol 39 No 4 2016 DOI written by Thomas J. OMeara and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, the authors criticize the use of a torsional ring shear device for measuring the fully softened strength (FSS) of fine-grained soils based on problematic ring shear data from Castellanos (2014). This is unfortunate and necessitated taking important time and energy to write this discussion. I have over 26years of commercial soil testing experience while managing the Woodward-Clyde Consultants and AECOM Technical Services Laboratory in Santa Ana, California. I started performing Bromhead torsional ring shear tests to measure the residual strength (RS) of shear surfaces for landslides in 1991. As Professor Stark expanded his shear strength correlations and the geotechnical engineering practice embraced the use of FSS in stability analyses, I started using the Bromhead torsional ring shear device for FSS testing in 2009. The RS and FSS tests are performed in accordance with ASTM D6467, Standard Test Method for Torsional Ring Shear Test to Determine Drained Residual Shear Strength of Cohesive Soils, and ASTM D7608, Standard Test Method for Torsional Ring Shear Test to Determine Drained Fully Softened Shear Strength and Nonlinear Strength Envelope of Cohesive Soils (Using Normally Consolidated Specimen) for Slopes with No Preexisting Shear Surfaces, test methods, respectively.

Download or read book Tailings Management Handbook written by Kimberly Finke Morrison and published by Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 1026 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As long as we have mining and mineral processing, tailings and the responsible management thereof will remain at the forefront, with a company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance in part a reflection of how well tailings risks are being managed. The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) was published in August 2020, aiming to prevent catastrophic failure of tailings facilities by providing operators with specified measures and approaches throughout the mine life cycle, taking into account multiple stakeholder perspectives. In 2021, the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) published the Tailings Management: Good Practice Guide intended to support safe, responsible management of tailings across the global mining industry, providing guidance on good governance and engineering practices to support continual improvement in tailings storage facility (TSF) management and help foster and strengthen the safety culture of mining companies. The Tailings Management Handbook is important and timely because there is no other comprehensive resource rooted in these new fundamentals and global principles for tailings management. Tailings management requires interdisciplinary and cross-functional understanding and support, which is apparent throughout this handbook. Dive into the wealth of information contributed by more than 100 world-renowned experts, beautifully crafted into a full-color handbook that focuses on the basics, life-cycle planning, site and tailings characterization, TSF design and construction, as well as systems and operations of TSFs. The inclusion of 42 case studies is an added plus with real-world successes and lessons learned.

This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides an overview of the progress in landslide research and technology and is part of a book series of the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL). The book provides a common platform for the publication of recent progress in landslide research and technology for practical applications and the benefit for the society contributing to the Kyoto Landslide Commitment 2020, which is expected to continue up to 2030 and even beyond to globally promote the understanding and reduction of landslide disaster risk, as well as to address the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals.
Download or read book Engineering of Glacial Deposits written by Barry G. Clarke and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At some time 30% of the world’s land mass was covered by glaciers leaving substantial deposits of glacial soils under major conurbations in Europe, North and South America, New Zealand, Europe and Russia. For instance, 60% of the UK has been affected, leaving significant glacial deposits under major conurbations where two thirds of the population live. Glacial soils are composite soils with significant variations in composition and properties and are recognised as challenging soils to deal with. Understanding the environment in which they were formed and how this affects their behaviour are critical because they do not always conform to classic theories of soil mechanics. This book is aimed at designers and contractors working in the construction and extractive industries to help them mitigate construction hazards on, with or in glacial deposits. These soils increase risks to critical infrastructure which, in the UK includes the majority of the road and rail network, coastal defences such as the fastest eroding coastline in Europe and most of the water supply reservoirs. It brings together many years of experience of research into the behaviour of glacial deposits drawing upon published and unpublished case studies from industry. It draws on recent developments in understanding of the geological processes and the impact they have upon the engineering properties, construction processes and performance of geotechnical structures. Unlike other books on glaciation it brings together all the relevant disciplines in earth sciences and engineering to make it directly relevant to the construction industry.

Download or read book Measuring Drained Residual Strengths in the Bromhead Ring Shear written by Christopher L. Meehan and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of Bromhead ring shear tests were conducted to measure the drained residual strength of Rancho Solano Fat Clay. Tests conducted using different test procedures demonstrate the significant effect that wall friction can have in the Bromhead ring shear device. This problem was addressed by beveling the top loading platen, which led to measurements of drained residual strength that were 21-23 % lower than those measured with the unmodified platen. Using the modified platen, similar test results can be achieved independent of the details of the test procedure that is followed, giving greater confidence in the measured residual shear strength.
