The Ripley Landslide is one of the smallest among the 12 landslides at the Ashcroft-Thompson River Valley, located approximately 10 km south of Ashcroft, B.C. Since it was first identified in 1951, it has been studied by numerous researchers to understand the kinematics controlling its behaviour....

In mining operations, seepage from tailings and mine rock stockpiles typically contribute a small percentage of the overall site wide water balance yet their effect on water quality is often disproportionate due to leaching of oxidized products as acid rock drainage. Most site-wide water balance...

Abstract: Loose cohesionless saturated materials have proved responsible for a number of serious or catastrophic flow slides. Liquefaction failures with no obvious triggering mechanism have also been recorded. This phenomenon of sudden liquefaction without a presence of cyclic shear stresses is...

This survey is written to document a standard protocol for identifying mass-volume relationships for tailings materials. The need for establishing a standard protocol has arisen in the oil sands mining industry as different engineering disciplines; geotechnical, mining, chemical and mechanical,...

Development of an integrated tailings closure model using GoldSim: preliminary results and lessons learned
Download2018-10-10
Traditionally, multidisciplinary simulation exercises often involves one discipline mechanistically using the output from a black-box model developed by another discipline. In this presentation, new techniques such as System Dynamics and Causal Loop Diagramming (CLD) will be used as the...

Traditionally, multi-disciplinary modelling exercises involve one discipline mechanistically using the output from a black-box model developed by another discipline. To address this deficiency, the research uses techniques relatively new to the geotechnical community, such as System Dynamics (SD)...

The Downie Slide case history demonstrates the importance of detailed site investigation and long-term monitoring, as well as the need for reinterpretation of the local geologic, structural, and groundwater conditions, and reassessment of slope stability as new information becomes available....
