Investigation on geotechnical engineering properties of coal mine spoil subjected to slaking

摘要

This research project has led to the development of a new approach to assess the saturated and unsaturated properties of soil material subjected to slaking. Constant saturation along with overburden pressure resulted in a larger vertical deformation ofInvestigation on geotechnical engineering properties of coal mine spoil subjected to slaking the slaking chambers; which is indicative of slaking, these results indicate that material slaking was occurring due to saturation and overburden pressure. This will have a substantial benefit to the mining operations with distinctive interest associated to safety of the mine spoil slopes, limiting failures to protect workers, equipment, and operational costs.
