Characterisation of spoil (surface mine overburden) material is essential when investigating geotechnical issues associated with the spoil, e.g., for investigating the stability of pit lakes formed with spoil or spoil-structure interaction for any st...

Centrifuge modelling of spoil slopes within pit-lake mine reclamations (2022)
Journal Article
Cui, G., Garala, T. K., Kantesaria, N., Doan, N.-P., Heron, C. M., Marshall, A. M., & Halder, K. (2022). Centrifuge modelling of spoil slopes within pit-lake mine reclamations. Gornictwo Odkrywkowe, LXIII(3), 23-28. https://doi.org/10.5604/01.3001.0053.8046

Pit lakes are a common form of reclamation of areas where open pit mining activities have taken place. The development of these lakes often uses previous overburden materials, or “spoils”, that are readily available. Depending on the local geology, t...

Foundation systems for sustainable revitalisation of spoil dump areas (2022)
Journal Article

The design of foundations systems is well established in the literature and codes of practice. However, these are generally applicable to well characterised, homogenous ground conditions. Spoil materials represent a significant challenge when impleme... Read More about Foundation systems for sustainable revitalisation of spoil dump areas.

Characterisation of spoil materials to develop an equivalent spoil material for physical model tests (2022)
Journal Article

The engineering behaviour of spoil (overburden) needs to be explored either to understand the stability of reservoir slopes under various geological and climatic conditions or for the effective utilisation of reclaimed mines for sustainable infrastru...

Effect of spatial variation of spoil material properties on slope displacements under rapid drawndown of pit lakes (2022)
Journal Article

In many European countries, lignite or brown coal is used as a fuel source in steam-electric power generation. Upon completion of mining activities, a reclamation plan is imperative to ensure environmental and social prosperity of local areas. Abando...

The constitutive behavior of soil is stress dependent. Therefore, geotechnical centrifuges are widely used to replicate full-scale stress fields, thereby ensuring the correct soil response within reduced-scale centrifuge models. A vibration-absorbing...
