In the underhand cut-and-fill mining method,a sill mat(i.e.an artificial horizontal pillar)constructed by cemented backfill is essential to prevent mine workers from being directly exposed under problematic rock roofs...
The authors regret that in the paper of Xin et al.(2024),a bug was found in the used numerical implementation.It concerns one of the damage coefficient that was incorrectly updated during the calculation process.As a ...
The shear behavior of backfill-rock composites is crucial for mine safety and the management of surface subsidence.For exposing the shear failure mechanism of backfill-rock composites,we conducted shear tests on backf...

Rock-encased-backfill(RB)structures are common in underground mining,for example in the cut-andfill and stoping methods.To understand the effects of cyclic excavation and blasting activities on the damage of these RB ...
Layered backfill is commonly used in mining operations,and its mechanical behavior is strongly influenced by delamination parameters.In this study,13 specimens with different numbers of delamination and delamination a...

The unconfined compressive strength(UCS)of alkali-activated slag(AAS)-based cemented paste backfill(CPB)is influenced by multiple design parameters.However,the experimental methods are limited to understanding the rel...
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 once CTB is poured into underground stop...

Cemented paste backfill(CPB)is extensively used for underground mine support and/or tailings management.However,CPB behavior under cyclic loadings might be affected by the chemistry of its porewater,which often contai...

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 with the shrinkage and selfweight consolidati...

To understand the deformational behaviours of geosynthetics-reinforced soil retaining walls(GRS RWs),a series of plane-strain shaking table tests was conducted on retaining wall models.The backfill of the models was m...
