Abstract: Knowledge of the settling properties of polymer-amended slurries is pivotal for improving throughput and yield during metal extraction and for developing tailings streams with superior geotechnical properties. This paper ...

Abstract: Volume change in argillaceous sediments can take place due to either swelling of expansive clay or gypsification of anhydrous calcium sulfate. Gypsification offers a variety of serious geotechnical hazards such as high ...

Abstract: Arid climate, alkaline environment, and geology govern the formation and behavior of coastal calcareous sediments in the Arabian Gulf region. The presence of clay and nonclay minerals in these sediments causes geotechnical ...
