To understand the strain-dependent shear modulus and damping ratio of reconstituted pumice sand samples, a series of dynamic deformation tests was performed using hollow cylindrical torsional shear test apparatus. The effects of confining pressure level and ...

Triaxial testing has been used for many years by geotechnical engineers, to monitor the response of soils to varying stress conditions. Similarly, Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) has been tested, using triaxial systems, to determine the reaction of the material to both ...

Stope design in Canadian hard rock mines is often carried out using the Stability Graph Method. However, this method does not account for the low confinement measured around stopes or quantify the amount of dilution associated with stope caving. A new approach ...
