Geotechnical Engineering for Mine Waste Storage Facilities

By Geoffrey Blight

Book Overview

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 management of mine waste storage facilities as well as senior undergraduate and postgraduate students. The book follows the sequence of a waste storage facility life cycle and also considers the use of mine waste as a construction material. The text is supported by typical test results, worked examples, and carefully analyzed case histories.
