Use of a mini block sampler in bauxite tailings

As part of TAILLIQ we recently carried out laboratory testing on high quality samples obtained through the use of a mini block sampler in...

Mini Calibration Chamber testing

As part of the TAILLIQ project, we are testing different mine tailings on a mini calibration chamber developed at UWA through the...

Preparation of centrifuge test

Of the various activities we are carrying out as part of TAILLIQ, it seems likely that most tailings engineers would be least familiar...

Preparation of bulk samples

Preparation of large scale bulk samples forms an important part of our work in the TAILLIQ project. Such material can then be used for...

Centrifuge testing of iron ore tailings

Use of DEM to simulate CPT

One of the focuses of TAILLIQ is using the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to simulate cone penetration tests in a saturated undrained...

Tube samples to supplement calibration chamber works

As part of TAILLIQ, we are using tube samples obtained adjacent to CPT probes to supplement and compare to our calibration chamber test...

Slope stability round robin

We are organising a round robin program focused on slope stability as part of TAILLIQ. The problem involves investigating stability of...
