Abstract: Fine tails, the resulting fine waste from oil sand processing, undergoes large-strain consolidation in tailings ponds. Its consolidation behavior must be analyzed using a large-strain consolidation theory, which requires the determination of the relationship between the void ratio and...

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)...

A system dynamics (SD) model was developed in the Tailings Management Simulator (TMSim) to simulate consolidation processes under quiescent conditions. A top-down iterative approach guides the overall philosophy of the modelling process. The GoldSim software was used as the main simulation...

Tailings Management System (TMS) consists of a web of inter-related sub-systems across disciplinary and organizational boundaries. Conventional predictive models simulate physical processes in each discipline with great details. In contrast, simulation based on System Dynamics (SD) focuses on...

TMSim_Consol
2021-06-04
Implemented in GoldSim, TMSim_Consol uses an explicit finite difference method to calculate the void ratio at each time step. Excess pore pressure and effective stress in each layer are then derived from void ratio. In addition to the specific gravity (Gs) and geometric properties of the deposit,...

Reclamation of slurry materials such as mine tailings requires effective management of consolidation-induced water release in the long-term. This is particularly challenging for flocculated or thickened tailings which require excessive time to fully consolidate to the final landform due to their...

TMSim Consol Benchmark Data
2023-10-14
Benchmarking dataset against UNSATCON (Carleton University), SoilVision (Bentley) and CONDENS0 (University of Colorado Boulder). GoldSim Player Version 12 is required to view the model file. Note that the unit for Ksat is in m/day.

Preliminary evaluation of Speswhite kaolin as a physical analogue material for unsaturated oil sands tailings
Download2023-10-02
Thin-lift deposition of treated oil sands tailings is currently investigated as a potential solution for creating a trafficable cap layer for future reclamation activities. To determine the optimal thickness of the cap layer, physical modeling experiments using the 50g-ton geotechnical beam...
