Nowadays, there are many new methods for slope stability analysis; including probabilistic methods assessing geotechnical
uncertainties to develop safety factors. In this paper, a reliability index analysis for the Sungun copper mine slope stability
is evaluated based on three methods of uncertainties consisting Taylor series method, Rosenblueth point estimate method and
Monte-Carlo simulation method. Sungun copper mine will be one of the Iran’s biggest mines with final pit’s height of 700 meters.
For this study two of its main slopes were assessed, one dipping to the NE (030) and the other to the SE (140). Probability
density function of cohesion and angle of friction for the slopes were developed using limit equilibrium methods. These shear
strengths were then used to determine the probability density function of safety factor and reliability index using the probabilistic
methods. Results of the probabilistic analysis indicate that with ascending values of the uncertainties the reliability index
decreases. Furthermore, it was determined that with the Monte Carlo simulation the seed number used has little effect on the
reliability index of the safety factor especially with seed numbers in excess of 1200. Variations in the overall reliability
index of safety factor were observed between the two slopes and this difference is explained by the differences in complexities
of the geology within the cross-section. 相似文献

Waste management issue in mining industry has become increasingly important. In this regard, construction of tailings dams
plays a major role. Most of the tailings dams require some kinds of remedial actions during their operational lifetime, among
which heightening is the most common. In the first stage of the remedial provisions for Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex tailings
dam in Iran, it has been decided to use hydrocyclone method to provide suitable construction material due to the high cost
associated with using borrow materials for heightening of the dam. To undertake this project a series of laboratory experiments
was performed to determine the copper ‘original tailings’ and ‘cycloned materials’ geotechnical characteristics to evaluate
the applicability of the cycloned materials for construction purposes. Different laboratory experiments were conducted to
determine the grain-size distribution, Atterberg limits, specific gravity, maximum density, shear strength parameters, consolidation
coefficient, and hydraulic conductivity. The results were compared with those of similar mines to check whether they follow
the trends observed in other copper tailing materials elsewhere. Variation of the cohesion and internal friction angle versus
different compaction ratios were studied in order to determine realistic shear strength parameters for tailing dam stability
analysis. In this study, using oedometer test, a mild linear relation between void ratio and the consolidation coefficient
has been found for tailings materials. By considering the effects of void ratio and weight of passing sieve #200 materials,
a new relationship is proposed that can be used for estimating the copper slimes hydraulic conductivity in seepage analysis
of tailings dams. 相似文献

含水率影响下尾矿砂内摩擦角随标贯击数变化研究 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
尾矿砂样品在运输和存放过程中均存在易扰动的特点,但考虑到工程造价以及人力资源等因素,目前在大部分上游式尾矿坝的工程地质勘察中难以建立现场试验室,所得抗剪强度指标与实际情况存在一定误差。针对这种现状,结合某铅锌矿尾矿坝现场试验结果,从现场简易试验获得的含水率和标准贯入击数进行分析,并对基于含水率影响下尾矿砂内摩擦角随标准贯入击数变化规律进行了研究,提出了考虑上覆压力作用下标准贯入击数的修正公式,并推出了用标准贯入击数估算尾矿砂内摩擦角的方法。通过几个实例验证：除当修正后的标准贯入击数N1>8（5%< <20%）情况下以外,该方法均能够有效地估算尾矿砂内摩擦角。研究结果表明,该方法在以后的上游式尾矿堆积坝的工程地质勘察工作中具有较强的应用价值。 相似文献

Bearing capacity of strip footings on spatially random soils using sparse polynomial chaos expansion
A probabilistic model is presented to compute the probability density function (PDF) of the ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing resting on a spatially varying soil. The soil cohesion and friction angle were considered as two anisotropic cross‐correlated non‐Gaussian random fields. The deterministic model was based on numerical simulations. An efficient uncertainty propagation methodology that makes use of a non‐intrusive approach to build up a sparse polynomial chaos expansion for the system response was employed. The probabilistic numerical results were presented in the case of a weightless soil. Sobol indices have shown that the variability of the ultimate bearing capacity is mainly due to the soil cohesion. An increase in the coefficient of variation of a soil parameter (c or φ) increases its Sobol index, this increase being more significant for the friction angle. The negative correlation between the soil shear strength parameters decreases the response variability. The variability of the ultimate bearing capacity increases with the increase in the coefficients of variation of the random fields, the increase being more significant for the cohesion parameter. The decrease in the autocorrelation distances may lead to a smaller variability of the ultimate bearing capacity. Finally, the probabilistic mean value of the ultimate bearing capacity presents a minimum. This minimum is obtained in the isotropic case when the autocorrelation distance is nearly equal to the footing breadth. However, for the anisotropic case, this minimum is obtained at a given value of the ratio between the horizontal and vertical autocorrelation distances. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

采用传统研究方法对盾构开挖面稳定性的分析多基于土体是均质、各向同性材料的假设,显然与其本身的非均质性相违背。为此,开展了考虑土体抗剪强度参数的空间变异性对盾构开挖面稳定性的影响研究。在随机场理论的基础上,采用协方差矩阵分解法建立了描述砂土内摩擦角空间变异性的三维随机场模型,借助于数值分析软件平台研究了内摩擦角的变异系数、自相关距离对开挖面失稳模式、极限支护应力的影响规律,并采用概率分析法探讨了极限支护应力特征值的选取。结果表明：砂土内摩擦角的空间变异性对开挖面稳定性有重要的影响;随内摩擦角的变异系数的增大,极限支护应力的概率分布离散性越大;开挖面失稳模式与自相关距离的大小密切相关,当自相关距离与隧道直径比较接近时,开挖面可能出现局部失稳;提出了开挖面极限支护应力特征值的概念,并结合失稳概率给出了其初步确定方法。 相似文献

The deposition process of tailings in a tailings dam may lead to the anisotropy of mechanical properties of tailings. To investigate the anisotropic shear strength characteristics of a tailings sand, samples deposited under gravity were sheared in a modified direct shear apparatus along different orientations of the shear planes relative to the bedding plane. The experimental results reveal that the anisotropy has a substantial effect on the peak shear strength of the tailings sand, leading to a variation in peak friction angle of 10°. It is found that the effect of anisotropy on the peak shear strength of the tailings sand is mainly attributed to the effect of anisotropy on soil dilatancy. On the other hand, the effect of anisotropy on the residual friction angle of the tailing sand is relatively smaller, likely due to the partial erasure of anisotropy at large shear deformation. The degree of anisotropy is reduced by an increase in normal stress. To achieve more accurate stability analysis of tailings dams, it is suggested to take into account the shear strength anisotropy of tailings soils. 相似文献

Hydraulic fills used in Australian mines have similar grain size distributions whilst having quite different specific gravity
values, typically in the range of 2.7–4.4. When produced and distributed in slurry at 65–75% by solid content, they settle
to produce fills with similar geotechnical characteristics. The fills under investigation have been found to settle, in the
laboratory, to a dry density of about 0.56 × specific gravity, a saturation water content of about 17–34%, and a porosity
of 37–49%. A quick estimate of the optimum water content that gives the minimum porosity may be obtained by locating the intersection
of the saturation curve and minimum porosity line, which may simply be done on a water content vs. porosity plot. However,
transportability of the slurry requires it to be mixed at water content substantially greater than the optimum water content.
As the tailings settle out of suspension, they settle to relative density of 50–80%. This paper shows that the current empirical
relationships relating relative density and N-value to friction angle for sands will significantly underestimate the friction angle of the hydraulic fills. Based on limited
experimental data, a unique relationship between relative density and friction angle is proposed for hydraulic fills placed
in some Australian mines. 相似文献

In this study, the amount of cyanide in gold mine tailings is modeled as conceptual, statistical, and mathematical to determine environmental risk level and also to estimate the fate and transport of cyanide in tailings. Therefore, 116 points were selected for sampling from three levels of gold mine tailings and analyzed by colorimetric method. As a matter of fact, new hybrid modeling methods such as AdaBoost, Support Vector Machine, Linear Discriminant Analysis, and Random Forest were used in estimation. In current study, The AdaBoost method was qualified as the best one by minimum estimation error (less than 10%). The model derived from the AdaBoost method shows an average variation of 581 g/day in the volume of cyanide tailings. Thus, the important results of this paper are the presentation of 3D numerical and especially conceptual models according to the 3D cyanide variation in the sulfide gold mine tailings and governing physic/chemical parameters. These qualitative and quantitative results can be used for the management of tailings dam and prevention of the contaminant extension. 相似文献

Hazard analysis of seismic submarine slope instability 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

To assess the risk associated with a submarine landslide, one must estimate the probability of slope failure and its consequences. This paper proposes a procedure to estimate the probability of earthquake-induced submarine slope failure (hazard) based on probabilistic seismic hazard analyses, ground response analyses and advanced laboratory tests. The outcomes from these analyses are treated in a probabilistic framework, with analytical simulations using mathematical techniques such as the first-order reliability method, Monte Carlo simulation and Bayesian updating. Fragility curves of slope failure during the earthquake (co-seismic) and after the earthquake (post-seismic) were developed in this study, and were shown to provide a clear and well-organized procedure to estimate the annual failure probability of a submarine slope under earthquake loading. 相似文献

A detailed characterization of the site is crucial to designing an efficient method of managing the risks associated with
tailings from abandoned mines. Therefore, samples collected from various depths within tailings in Guryong mine, Korea, were
analyzed for their chemical, physical and mineralogical characteristics. All samples of the Guryong tailings had acid-generating
potential. However, in the oxidation zone, the net acid generation (NAG) was low (30 kg H2SO4 t−1) although the acid neutralization potential (ANP) was less than zero. The ANP values in the unoxidation zone were higher
(> −56.0 kg CaCO3 t−1) than in the other zones. As a result, the amount of alkali ions that are needed to neutralize the acid needs to be considered.
In this experiment G3, G4 and G6 drill cores containing fine tailings particles near the unoxidation zone were observed to
contain calcite (CaCO3) with acid-neutralizing capacity. A low pH (2−4) in the oxidation zone of the tailings changed to a neutral pH in the unoxidation
zone of the tailings. These results suggest that the acid-neutralizing capacity of the tailings was controlled by particle
and mineral composition of tailings. 相似文献

Environmental geochemistry of the derelict Webbs Consols mine,New South Wales,Australia 总被引：3，自引：3，他引：0
Small-scale mining and mineral processing at the Webbs Consols polymetallic PbZnAg deposit in northern New South Wales, Australia has caused a significant environmental impact on streams, soils and vegetation. Unconfined waste rock dumps and tailings dams are the source of the problems. The partly oxidised sulphidic mine wastes contain abundant sulphides (arsenopyrite, sphalerite, galena) and oxidation products (scorodite, anglesite, smectite, Fe-oxyhydroxides), and possess extreme As and Pb (wt% levels) and elevated Ag, Cd, Cu, Sb and Zn values. Contemporary sulphide oxidation, hardpan formation, crystallisation of mineral efflorescences and acid mine drainage generation occur within the waste repositories. Acid seepages (pH 1.9–6.0) from waste dumps, tailings dams and mine workings display extreme As, Pb and Zn and elevated Cd, Cu and Sb contents. Drainage from the area is by the strongly contaminated Webbs Consols Creek and although this stream joins and is diluted by the much larger Severn River, contamination of water and stream sediments in the latter is evident for 1–5 km, and 12 km respectively, downstream of the mine site. The pronounced contamination of local and regional soils and sediments, despite the relatively small scale of the former operation, is due to the high metal tenor of abandoned waste material and the scarcity of neutralising minerals. Any rehabilitation plan of the site should include the relocation of waste materials to higher ground and capping, with only partial neutralisation of the waste to pH 4–5 in order to limit potential dissolution of scorodite and mobilisation of As into seepages and stream waters. 相似文献

Understanding the shear behaviour of the interface between cemented tailings backfill and retaining wall structures (barricades,
bulkheads) is important for the optimal design of barricades or bulkheads, and for mine operators to balance strength and
safety against cost. However, our understanding of the shear behaviour of the aforementioned interface is limited. This paper
is aimed at investigating the interfacial behaviour and properties of cemented tailings backfill-retaining wall structures,
including stress–strain behaviour, cohesion, friction angle and shear stiffness through direct shear tests. Two different
types of barricade or bulkhead materials (brick and concrete) are used in this study. Interface shear tests are performed
at various curing times of the cemented backfill. Valuable results are obtained with regards to the interface shear behaviour
of backfill-retaining structures. Based on these results, interfacial properties between cemented tailings backfill and barricades
or bulkheads show a significant time-dependent variation. 相似文献

The sparse polynomial chaos expansion is employed to perform a probabilistic analysis of the tunnel face stability in the spatially random soils. A shield tunnel under compressed air is considered which implies that the applied pressure is uniformly distributed on the tunnel face. Two sets of failure mechanisms in the context of the limit analysis theory with respect to the frictional and the purely cohesive soils are used to calculate the required face pressure. In the case of the frictional soils, the cohesion and the friction angle are modeled as two anisotropic cross-correlated lognormal random fields; for the purely cohesive soils, the cohesion and the unit weight are modeled as two anisotropic independent lognormal random fields. The influences of the spatial variability and of the cross-correlation between the cohesion and the friction angle on the probability density function of the required face pressure, on the sensitivity index and on the failure probability are discussed. The obtained results show that the spatial variability has an important influence on the probability density function as well as the failure probability, but it has a negligible impact on the Sobol’s index. 相似文献

This study aims at the probabilistic assessment of tunnel convergence considering the spatial variability in rock mass properties. The method of interpolated autocorrelation combined with finite difference analysis is adopted to model the spatial variability of rock mass properties. An iterative procedure using the first-order reliability method(FORM) and response surface method(RSM) is employed to compute the reliability index and its corresponding design point. The results indicate that the spatial variability considerably affects the computed reliability index. The probability of failure could be noticeably overestimated in the case where the spatial variability is neglected. The vertical scale of fluctuation has a much higher effect on the probabilistic result with respect to the tunnel convergence than the horizontal scale of fluctuation. And the influence of different spacing of control points on the computational accuracy is investigated. 相似文献

Geological impact of some tailings dams in Sardinia,Italy 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
This article deals with the results of a survey carried out in Sardinia on both active and abandoned tailings dams, and we also discuss the geological impact of tailings dams of two mines: the Masua mine, a large syngenetic Pb-Zn deposit located in Cambrian limestones, and the Montevecchio mine, a Pb-Zn vein deposit near a Hercynian granite intrusion. The characteristics and metal content of material in the dams were analyzed. A high contamination of heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu) was found both in the soils and water of Rio Montevecchio, a stream draining the tailings dams and other mining operations in the area.The study indicates that a control plan to minimize heavy metal pollution must be drawn up for all mines of the area, whether active or abandoned. 相似文献

Rainfall infiltration poses a disastrous threat to the slope stability in many regions around the world. This paper proposes an extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)-based stochastic analysis framework to estimate the rainfall-induced slope failure probability. An unsaturated slope under rainfall infiltration in spatially varying soils is selected in this study to investigate the influences of the spatial variability of soil properties (including effective cohesion c′, effective friction angle φ′ and saturated hydraulic conductivity ks), as well as rainfall intensity and rainfall pattern on the slope failure probability. Results show that the proposed framework in this study is capable of computing the failure probability with accuracy and high efficiency. The spatial variability of ks cannot be overlooked in the reliability analysis. Otherwise, the rainfall-induced slope failure probability will be underestimated. It is found that the rainfall intensity and rainfall pattern have significant effect on the probability of failure. Moreover, the failure probabilities under various rainfall intensities and patterns can be easily obtained with the aid of the proposed framework, which can provide timely guidance for the landslide emergency management departments. 相似文献

Mine tailings integrated investigations: The case of Rio tailings (Panasqueira Mine, Central Portugal) 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Mining generates huge quantities of waste materials from ore extraction and milling operations, which accumulate in tailings and open impoundments. The risks associated with mine tailings have different nature, namely stability, rupture, surface and groundwater contamination, acid mine drainage (AMD) and precipitation of secondary minerals. In fact catastrophic failure of tailings impoundments has occurred, transporting slurry, dissolved metals and fine reactive metal particles to the environment.Often deposition conditions of old mine tailings are unknown and monitoring is deficient or even inexistent. Thus, in order to prevent accidents it is necessary to establish the internal structure, that is, mapping tailings impoundment, internal sediment structures – limits and stratigraphy – seepage and pathway locations, bedrock depth and topography estimates and actual deposition conditions of the tailings. Owing to the complexity of the problem, only integrated approaches can investigate and monitor comprehensively the characteristics and evolution of mine tailings and its impacts on the environment.As this is a multidisciplinary problem, strategies should consider integrated studies such as Geophysics, Geochemistry and borehole surveys. However data from these sources must be interpreted together, in a GIS database, to provide better models and an enhanced overall knowledge of the studied structures.It is proposed to test and validate such a methodology in a case study, Panasqueira mine, central Portugal and to contribute to the decision-making process of environmental and civil protection agencies with responsibilities in the assessing, prevention, mitigation, and controlling the potential and actual effects of tailings spills on the environment. 相似文献
