View ArticleIn recent years, two tragic accidents in Brazilian tailings dams resulted in a lack of trust in the performance of these structures. This paper aims at proposing a new procedure for estimating the liquefaction risk of existing tailings dams, with the use of well-known probabilistic methods as a valuable tool in the decision-making process for triggering...
View ArticleThe West-East Integration Railway (Ferrovia de Integração Oeste-Leste -FIOL) is an infrastructure project designed to integrate and promote the socio-economic development of the Northeast region of Brazil. In countries with heavy-haul railway operations, there has been increased demand for ballast materials that can withstand cycli...
View ArticleThin spray-on liners (TSLs) are a promising rock support method due to their ease of application and versatility. However, their effectiveness relies on experience and lacks a complete scientific understanding. To bridge some of the knowledge gaps existing in support mechanisms, this study investigated the effect of different parameters on the shearbond...
