STRESS-STRAIN AND VOLUME CHANGE CHARACTERISTICS OF TAILINGS MATERIALS (CRITICAL VOID RATIO, LIQUEFACTION, SILTY SANDS).

The stress-strain and volume (or pore pressure) change characteristics of a Southern Arizona copper mine tailings material were investigated in the laboratory by conducting static loading triaxial compression tests. The tailings material is silty sand with highly angular grain shapes, rough grain su...
