An enormous amount of waste materials (tailings, fly ash and slag) are generated during
mineral processing, power generation and metallurgical processes. A vast literature on …

The concrete columns suffer from spalling and flaking in the room and pillar mining method,
which affects service performance. The energy absorption and deformation failure laws of …

This paper deals the relationship between compressive strength and internal crack
formation (eg, crack width and volume) of cement-fiber-tailings matrix composites (CFTMC) …

The ordinary cemented tailings backfill (CTB) is a cement-based composite prepared from
tailings, cementitious materials, and water. In this study, a series of laboratory tests …

The safety and durability of underground backfilled stopes of metalliferous mines are so
crucial owing to several dynamic events such as rock bursting, loads triggered by blasting …

In this paper, an experimental investigation was carried out to study strength, toughness and
microstructural properties of early age cemented tailings backfill (CTB) reinforced with three …

To test the impact of different mixture ratios on backfilling strength in Fankou lead–zinc mine,
various mixture ratio designs have been conducted. Meanwhile, to improve the strength of …

Using structurally layered cementitious tailings backfill (CTB) as synthetic roof material for
down-cut-and-fill mining can save cost while ensuring mechanical properties. In the current …

Cement-tailings matrix composites (CTMC) have problems such as high brittleness and poor
crack resistance when subjected to high stresses corresponding to large depths. To …

This paper provides a review of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting the uniaxial
compressive strength (UCS) of cemented tailings backfill (CTB). The consideration is that …
