Co-editors Professor Yves Potvin, Australian Centre for Geomechanics, and Dr Ryan Veenstra, Newmont, together with world-wide mine fill experts, are writing a new and comprehensive technical publication to examine the evolution of mine fill practice over the last two decades. This handbook seeks to advance the safe, efficient, and economic application of fill within the mining community.
This publication will be a valuable reference for mining practitioners, early career geotechnical engineers, operating and regulatory professionals, consultants, academics, researchers and other mine fill peers.
Content
This comprehensive publication will explore both the theoretical and practical aspects of mine fill application with a range of examples and themes to be explored such as:
Overarching theme: Mine fill within the mining and tailings life cycle —— Fundamentals Mine fill constitutive materials Classification and dewatering of tailings Fluid mechanics of mine fill Geomechanics of mine fill ——– Operation Mine fill management Mine fill placement and risk mitigation ——– Design Mine fill exposure stability Cemented rockfill systems Hydraulic fill systems Cemented paste mine fill systems Underground distribution system Early age behaviour of hydraulic and paste fill and their containment
