Catalogue of Technologies for Reducing the Environmental Impact of Fine Tailings from Oil Sands Processing
Download1993
Rose, D. E., Taplin, D., Fuhr, B. J.
A catalogue containing 22 technologies for reducing the environmental impact of fine tailings derived from oil sand processing has been assembled. The simple format which was developed as part of this study consisted of a spreadsheet outline of the technologies and a process summary for each...

Centrifuge Modeling and Large Deformation Analyses of Axially Loaded Helical Piles in Cohesive Soils
DownloadSpring 2022
In the past decades, helical piles have gained increasing popularity in civil engineering practice as an option of deep foundations. The design of axial load capacity of these piles relies on an appropriate selection of failure mode. Currently, the axial failure modes of multi-helix piles...

Usher, B. H., Hodgson, F. D. I.
Twenty-seven observation test pits were excavated at four different spoils dumps at three collieries in the Witbank Coalfield. The holes were dug into the upper three metres of the spoils to ascertain if any weathering profiles, variation with age or influence of topsoil covering could be gauged....

Characterization of a landslide-prone glaciolacustrine clay from the Thompson River Valley near Ashcroft, British Columbia
DownloadFall 2017
Several large landslides have occurred in the Thompson River Valley near Ashcroft, British Columbia. The movement of these landslides have presented challenges for the operation of the two national railways that traverse this valley. The landslides are multiple retrogressive, translational,...
