Adaptations to a triaxial equipment for testing of mine tailings

Mine tailings are usually materials with particle sizes in the range of silts, frequently exhibiting very low consistency. This low-consistency condition poses challenges when trying to reconstitute specimens for triaxial testing. The first part of this work presents a description of the main geotechnical properties of mine tailings used in the tests and the difficulties associated with triaxial testing. Next, ...
