Due to the wide existence of tensile stresses in cemented paste backfill (CPB) mode-I
fracture toughness (K IC) plays a crucial role in the mechanical stability of CPB under …

A numerical modeling study is conducted to assess and gain a better understanding of the
arching effects of field cemented tailings backfill (CTB). An integrated multiphysics model is …

Cemented paste backfill (CPB) is largely used in underground mine stopes worldwide.
When a CPB is placed in a stope, an important task is to estimate the settlement associated …

In this study, a coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC)-viscoplastic cap model
is developed to investigate the characteristics of blast wave propagation in a fill mass made …

Backfilling techniques enable improved ore recovery and structural stability to underground
mines employing a material to fill the voids after the excavation. Fiber-reinforced cemented …
