Illustrated with line drawings and photographs, this volume is a comprehensive treatment of the application of geotechnical engineering to site selection, site exploration, and the design, operation, and closure of mine waste storage facilities. The level and content are suitable for practicing engineers engaged in the design and operational man
The level and content are suitable as a technical source and reference for practising engineers engaged both in the design and operational management of mine waste storage facilities and for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students. The thirteen chapters follow the sequence of the life cycle of a waste storage facility (characterization, site selection, geotechnical exploration, environmental aspects, testing and compaction) and also consider the use of mine waste as a construction material.
The text is liberally illustrated by both line drawings and photographs, and the theoretical passages are supported by typical test results, worked examples and carefully analysed case histories.
