Error reduction in slope stability assessment
1. Introduction Slopes in quarries and open pit mines, as well as all the types of embankments (stockpiles, tailing dams, waste dumps) resulting from mining and mineral processing activities, must be considered as "geotechnical structures". Therefore, the design and implementation of these structures must be conducted with all consideration. Considering an economical plan, the selection of reas...
متن کاملEstimating of geotechnical properties of clay soil with dynamic cone penetration (DCP) test
Dynamic cone penetration (DCP) test is used more in pavement design and construction, and less for subsurface geotechnical investigation and clay core dam. In the present article, evaluating geotechnical parameters of Sanandaj’s clay in the western region of Iran using the DCP test was taken into account. Accordingly, 6 trial pits with maximum depths of 15 m were excavated manually in various s...
متن کاملGeotechnical Characterization of Mined Clay from Appalachian Ohio: Challenges and Implications for the Clay Mining Industry
Clayey soil found in coal mines in Appalachian Ohio is often sold to landfills for constructing Recompacted Soil Liners (RSL) in landfills. Since clayey soils possess low hydraulic conductivity, the suitability of mined clay for RSL in Ohio is first assessed by determining its clay content. When soil samples are tested in a laboratory, the same engineering properties are typically expected for ...
متن کاملSlope stability assessment of weathered clay by using field data and computer modelling: a case study from Budapest
A future development site of a housing estate, an abandoned-brick yard with clayey slopes was studied in details to assess slope stability and to calculate the factor of safety. The Oligocene clay, the former raw material, is divided into two different geotechnical units in the clay pit. The lower one consists of grey impermeable clays while the upper unit is characterised by yellowish weathere...
متن کاملEffects of Geofoam Particles on Geotechnical Properties of Clay-dune Sand
Nowadays, new materials are widely used for improving the bearing capacity of the soils and geosynthetics include the type of these materials which are utilized in this regard. In addition, the geofoam panel type of geosyntethic materials is useful and an alternative for backfill in retaining wall or pavement layers. The present research mainly aimed to investigate sthe effects of geofoam parti...
