Abstract
A geotechnical assessment of mine tailings state conditions using the static cone penetration test performed at different tailings storage facilities (TSF’s) will be presented in this paper. Both tailings evaluated herein are deposited as a slurry (hydraulic deposition) and have similar grain-size distribution curves. A set of Cone Penetration Tests (CPTu) with pore pressure measurements were performed at each site to evaluate the state of the tailings. To assess the contractive-dilative behavior classical methodologies were adopted such as i) the contractive/dilative boundary suggested by Robertson (2016) ii) the approach suggested by Plewes et al. (1992) and cited by Jefferies and Been (2016) and iii) the yield stress ratio method proposed by Mayne and Sharp (2019). Partial drainage effects will be identified with classical methodologies. The results were compared to evaluate the difference and limitations of each methodology. Comments on the similarity between the two tailings evaluated herein will also be presented to explain the differences in behavior due to aspects such as mineralogy, gradation, stress history and deposition.
