高浓缩分级尾矿上游法堆坝及模型试验研究

针对传统上游法尾矿库堆坝方法的缺陷与不足,提出了改进的上游法堆坝方法,即高浓缩分级尾矿上游法堆坝方法。基于尾矿库堆坝模型试验,以高浓缩尾矿堆存技术为指导,分别进行传统上游法和改进上游法的高浓缩尾矿堆坝模型试验,演绎尾矿库堆坝过程,测试并得出了堆坝过程中滩面尾矿沉积情况、尾矿颗粒分布规律及浸润线变化规律,并采用极限平衡法计算不同堆坝方式下坝体的最小安全系数。结果显示：高浓缩尾矿堆坝使沉积滩颗粒分布均匀,颗粒分级不明显,减少了互层和细泥夹层的出现,改善了坝体内部结构;改进上游法堆坝可以形成有利于排渗防洪的良好沉积滩滩型;稳定性分析结果表明,改进上游法堆坝方法可以使尾矿坝的稳定性提高19%～33%,研究成果可为新建尾矿库工程提供试验技术支撑。     

细粒含量对尾矿材料液化特性的影响

为了模拟沉积分选后颗粒组成的变化对尾矿材料的动力特性的影响,尾矿筛分后按不同的细粒（颗粒直径小于 0.074 mm）含量制备尾矿试样,并进行了大量的土动力学试验。分析了细颗粒含量对尾矿材料的动力液化特性的影响规律。研究表明,对于铜矿类尾矿坝的尾矿材料,当细颗粒含量占到总量的35 %时其抗液化性能最佳。根据尾矿材料动力特性试验的研究结果,并结合现场的标准贯入试验成果,提出了适用于尾矿材料的细粒含量对标准贯入击数的修正式。该式可以分析不同细粒含量的尾矿材料的抗液化强度,提高尾矿坝液化判别方法的判别准确程度。     

某尾矿坝毛细水带内的坝体材料物理力学特性研究

毛细水的存在将使尾矿坝坝体材料的物理力学特性发生较大变化,这种变化对尾矿坝的安全稳定势必产生影响,而国内外在此方面的研究工作却鲜有报道。为此,开展了某尾矿坝坝体材料现场取样、室内土工试验工作,并采用自制的毛细水带分层取样试验装置开展了长达6个月的毛细水上升测试工作,通过分层取样及土工试验,得到了毛细水带内尾矿砂的物理力学特性,进而系统地研究了毛细水带尾矿砂的含水率、重度、黏聚力、内摩擦角等物理力学指标随毛细水高度的变化特征。研究发现,毛细水带内尾矿砂的含水率和重度均随毛细高度而减小;黏聚力和内摩擦角的变化均随毛细高度和含水率呈先增大后减小的变化规律,其中内摩擦角的变化规律与以往相关研究所得结论并不完全相符,分析指出,这是由于毛细水和尾矿砂颗粒的表面特性所导致的;简要分析了抗剪强度随毛细高度的变化规律,发现其受毛细作用影响较大,呈先增大后减小的变化趋势。研究结果为坝体、边坡等工程的稳定性研究工作提供了一种新思路,为今后建立考虑毛细水作用下尾矿坝稳定性分析方法和理论奠定了基础。     

尾矿坝垮塌机制与溃决模式试验研究

基于云南拉拉铜矿小打鹅尾矿库工程设计资料,采用现场排放尾矿砂为试验材料,进行了尾矿堆积坝在洪水情况下发生垮塌破坏的模型试验。通过水流控制系统模拟尾矿坝遭遇洪水情况,采用侧面示踪点、水位测压管、应力传感器以及数码摄像机等设备获得了尾矿坝溃决过程中坝坡的位移矢量演化、浸润线与应力的变化特性以及坝体破坏发展过程,揭示了洪水作用下尾矿坝的垮塌机制和溃决模式。试验结果发现：尾矿堆积坝的浸润线变化存在滞后性;在洪水入库致库区最高设计洪水水位过程中,靠近坝坡中部处水平方向的总应力增量较垂向总应力增量大,增大的水平应力是坝体产生破坏的重要因素之一;洪水导致坝坡尾矿砂所受的渗透力、上浮力、重力以及孔隙水压力增大,削弱了坝体材料的黏聚力,并加大了自身荷载,降低了坝体的稳定性;尾矿坝溃决模式一般为逆流渐进型,破坏先是从坡脚处发生,继而向上游发展,呈现牵引式发展,破坏的滑动面由多个弧形滑移面构成。研究成果加深了对尾矿堆积坝垮塌机制和溃决模式的认识,并在洪水灾害的预防和控制方面作了一些新的探索     

粗粒含量对散体岩土颗粒破碎及强度特性试验研究

明显的粒径分级和深部土的颗粒破碎是超高排土场的两个主要特征。基于改装后的大型两用直剪仪对不同粗粒含量的颗粒破碎和抗剪强度进行试验研究。颗粒破碎试验结果表明：垂直压力小于400 kPa的情况下破碎率极小,在垂直压力大于400 kPa时,随垂直压力的增大破碎率增加明显;粗粒含量小于46.0%时,相对破碎率较小,粗粒含量大于46%时,颗粒破碎率随粗粒含量的增加而明显增大;相对破碎率与垂直压力可用双曲线关系表示;长期浸泡于水中的土样颗粒破碎相当明显。剪切强度试验结果表明：在粗粒含量等于24%时,低垂直压力下的剪应力-应变曲线呈微软化或微硬化型,较高垂直压力下呈轻微软化型;在粗粒含量等于78%时,低垂直压力下其剪应力-应变曲线呈软化型,较高垂直压力下表现为轻微硬化型。较高垂直压力下的抗剪强度包线呈明显的非线性。当颗粒破碎率较小时,分别在垂直压力小于400 kPa和大于400 kPa时拟合的内摩擦角值变化不大;当颗粒破碎率明显增大时,垂直压力大于400 kPa时的内摩擦角值明显低于垂直压力小于400 kPa时拟合的内摩擦角值。     

钙质砂颗粒破碎对临界状态影响的试验研究

钙质砂的颗粒易碎性是造成其变形和强度特性不同于石英砂的重要性质。本文基于临界状态理论,通过一系列试验定量地描述钙质砂临界状态线随颗粒破碎的演化规律。本文试验分两个阶段进行:第1阶段研究了60~2000 kPa围压条件下钙质砂的力学特性和颗粒破碎特征;第2阶段以不同破碎率的试样为母本重塑制样,在100~300 kPa围压条件下,剪切至破碎临界状态线。试验结果表明:在较小围压(<300 kPa)条件下,松砂和密砂均表现出明显的剪胀和应变软化特性;而高围压(>1 MPa)条件下,显著的颗粒破碎会造成试样的持续剪缩;颗粒破碎存在明显围压阈值,对于松砂而言,在围压小于300 kPa条件下,颗粒基本不发生破碎;在e-lg p'平面内,破碎临界状态线的截距Δe_Γ和斜率λ_c均会随着修正相对破碎率B_r*的增大而减小,即颗粒破碎会使临界状态线发生下移和逆时针转动;而在q-p'平面内,钙质砂的临界状态点落在同一条直线上,即存在唯一的临界状态应力比M_cr和临界摩擦角φ_cr。     

物理力学性质对尾矿坝稳定性影响研究

以元江镍矿1号尾矿坝为例，利用极限平衡法，在渗流和非渗流两种状态下对尾矿坝的稳定性进行研究，并对尾矿坝的天然重度γ、内摩擦角φ、黏聚力c与稳定性系数进行敏感性分析，综合研究得出：内摩擦角和粘聚力与尾矿坝稳定性系数均呈正相关关系；天然重度与尾矿坝稳定性系数呈负相关关系；非渗流作用下，尾矿坝物理力学性质与尾矿坝稳定性系数的敏感性排序为：φ>c>γ;渗流作用下，尾矿坝的物理力学性质与尾矿坝稳定性系数的敏感性排序为：φ>γ>c。     

含水率影响下尾矿砂内摩擦角随标贯击数变化研究

尾矿砂样品在运输和存放过程中均存在易扰动的特点,但考虑到工程造价以及人力资源等因素,目前在大部分上游式尾矿坝的工程地质勘察中难以建立现场试验室,所得抗剪强度指标与实际情况存在一定误差。针对这种现状,结合某铅锌矿尾矿坝现场试验结果,从现场简易试验获得的含水率和标准贯入击数进行分析,并对基于含水率影响下尾矿砂内摩擦角随标准贯入击数变化规律进行了研究,提出了考虑上覆压力作用下标准贯入击数的修正公式,并推出了用标准贯入击数估算尾矿砂内摩擦角的方法。通过几个实例验证：除当修正后的标准贯入击数N1>8（5%< <20%）情况下以外,该方法均能够有效地估算尾矿砂内摩擦角。研究结果表明,该方法在以后的上游式尾矿堆积坝的工程地质勘察工作中具有较强的应用价值。     

某尾矿库勘察中尾矿砂的动强度研究

尾矿库用以堆存金属或非金属矿山排出的尾矿或工业废渣,一旦失事,容易造成重特大事故。尾矿库的安全已经成为一项重要研究内容。尾矿主要为细砂、粉砂等无黏性土,常处于饱和状态,在地震作用下容易发生液化并造成尾矿坝的破坏。以某尾矿库为例,采用动三轴的方法对尾矿砂的动力特性进行研究。对土样施加不同的围压,在振动循环条件下使土样达到破坏标准,以得到应力、应变、振动次数关系曲线;应用摩尔-库伦理论,便可以求出土在动力作用下的动黏聚力(c_d)与动内摩擦角(φ_d)的值。试验结果表明:土的动强度随振动次数的增加而降低,随围压的增加显著提高。通过试验得出的动强度参数,给出勘察指导结果,为下一步尾矿库设计提出理论依据。     

堆石非线性强度特性对高土石坝稳定性的影响

抗剪强度指标的选择对大坝坝坡稳定性评价有着十分重要的影响。堆石料抗剪强度具有明显的非线性,在高坝中这一特点更为显著。因此,计算堆石坝坝坡稳定安全系数时应采用非线性指标,而不是传统的线性指标。讨论了不同的堆石料抗剪强度模型、计算参数取值标准、非线性指标的稳定分析方法以及允许安全标准问题。统计分析了171组822个三轴试验结果发现,邓肯非线性指标对堆石料抗剪强度的模拟误差要小于线性指标和德迈洛非线性指标。采用不同的抗剪强度指标计算261.5 m高的云南糯扎渡大坝坝坡的稳定性。结果表明：各种工况下线性有咬合力、邓肯非线性指标与德迈洛非线性指标3种方法得到的安全系数和滑裂面位置都十分接近,非线性指标计算的结果并不比线性指标高。因此,进行非线性分析时,现有规范规定的基于线性指标的允许安全系数标准无需改变。     

大空区尾砂充填体自重压密模型与应用

尾砂是矿山充填的主体材料,属典型松散介质,在外力及自重作用下具有明显的压密特性。不同压密条件下尾砂物理力学性质也随之变化,但迄今还没有较合理的计算方法。以大红山铜矿尾砂为研究对象,采用origin软件自定义函数对尾砂三联杆高压固结试验结果进行拟合分析,得到尾砂密度随外加载荷变化的关系满足幂函数特征。通过分析采场内尾砂微元体自重条件下的受力平衡条件,得到大空区尾砂充填体密度随高度的变化关系满足幂函数特征,函数为可积分函数,尾砂密度随高度的增大而增大,增长速率逐渐减小。Fluent数值模拟计算结果和工业试验结果表明,所得尾砂充填体自重压密模型与实际情况相符很好,具有较高的工程指导价值。     

Geotechnical Characteristics of Copper Mine Tailings: A Case Study

Waste management issue in mining industry has become increasingly important. In this regard, construction of tailings dams plays a major role. Most of the tailings dams require some kinds of remedial actions during their operational lifetime, among which heightening is the most common. In the first stage of the remedial provisions for Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex tailings dam in Iran, it has been decided to use hydrocyclone method to provide suitable construction material due to the high cost associated with using borrow materials for heightening of the dam. To undertake this project a series of laboratory experiments was performed to determine the copper ‘original tailings’ and ‘cycloned materials’ geotechnical characteristics to evaluate the applicability of the cycloned materials for construction purposes. Different laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the grain-size distribution, Atterberg limits, specific gravity, maximum density, shear strength parameters, consolidation coefficient, and hydraulic conductivity. The results were compared with those of similar mines to check whether they follow the trends observed in other copper tailing materials elsewhere. Variation of the cohesion and internal friction angle versus different compaction ratios were studied in order to determine realistic shear strength parameters for tailing dam stability analysis. In this study, using oedometer test, a mild linear relation between void ratio and the consolidation coefficient has been found for tailings materials. By considering the effects of void ratio and weight of passing sieve #200 materials, a new relationship is proposed that can be used for estimating the copper slimes hydraulic conductivity in seepage analysis of tailings dams.     

Undrained Strength of Deposited Mine Tailings Beds: Effect of Water Content, Effective Stress and Time of Consolidation

An understanding of the geotechnical behaviour of mine tailings is imperative when evaluating the stability and erosional resistance of sedimented tailings beds; as well as for the design and long-term management of tailings disposal facilities. Laboratory testing was conducted on mine tailings beds of various ages and thicknesses, deposited from concentrated slurries. Measured index properties allowed classifying the tailings as a coarse grained and non-cohesive material. The results obtained from the performed sedimentation experiments showed that the primary consolidation of the tailings beds was complete in approximately 1 h and negligible volume changes occurred in the beds during secondary compression. The undrained shear strength of the tailings beds was measured using an automated fall cone device at a depth interval of 1 cm and a profile of the shear strength variation with depth was obtained. At each tested surface, moisture content specimens were taken to determine the moisture content profile of the tested tailings beds. The undrained shear strength of the beds varied between 0.008 and 0.975 kPa for effective stresses below 1.19 kPa and increased with depth. Correspondingly, the moisture content decreased with depth and varied between 17 and 27%. The factor controlling the undrained shear strength of the tested beds was the vertical effective stress, with the water content also having some secondary effect. The correlation between the undrained shear strength and the vertical effective stress was expressed with a second order polynomial function. Consolidation time did not appear to influence the observed shear strength.

铜尾砂和钨尾砂的抗剪强度及宏细观分析

铜矿和钨矿在经过开采和选矿过程后产生大量的尾砂,尾砂的抗剪强度直接影响到尾砂筑坝的稳定安全性和材料的创新利用。尾矿库现场取回尾砂的级配曲线不同于选矿产生的全尾砂,选用合适的尾砂抗剪强度参数以及对不同尾砂抗剪强度的比较和分析有助于评估尾矿库的溃坝安全性。为了深入研究铜、钨两种尾砂的抗剪强度及异同点,针对不同粒径范围的铜、钨尾砂进行了直剪试验、X射线衍射分析和扫描电镜分析。直剪试验结果表明,干燥尾砂表现出无黏性土的强度性质,相同粒组尺寸的铜尾砂抗剪强度要高于钨尾砂的抗剪强度;铜尾砂和钨尾砂在含水率为15%情况下的抗剪强度表现出一定的黏聚力,使其抗剪强度相对于干燥状态下提高了16.7%~83.8%;随着含水率从10%增加到20%,细粒钨尾砂的内摩擦角变化不大,含水量的增加使得钨尾砂的黏聚力较明显地减小并使得抗剪强度降低。X射线衍射分析结果显示铜尾砂和钨尾砂都以石英为主晶相,其余矿物成分大都是以硅酸盐为主的次生矿物;5000倍扫描电镜照片显示细粒尾砂颗粒的表面附着一定量的黏土矿物,黏土矿物的存在导致了尾砂抗剪强度随含水率增加而发生变化。     

A relation between safety factors with respect to strength and height of slopes

Conventional slope stability analysis is usually based on the linear Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion utilizing the notion of safety factors with respect to shear strength, and one of the available slice methods. Failure criteria of most soils are not linear, and it is possible to show that this non-linearity has a very significant effect on calculated safety factors. The present work is based on a non-linear failure criterion, which appears to fit the experimental information better than Mohr–Coulomb. All slice methods utilize various kinematical and static assumptions, which cannot be rationally justified. The present work is based on rigorous variational approach to slope stability analysis, which does not employ any kinematical and static assumptions. Safety factors with respect to shear strength are useful abstractions, but physical significance of results based on them is clear only at failure when they are equal to 1 (at any other value of the safety factor with respect to strength results of the analysis correspond to fictitious material with a modified shear strength function). In the present note, we use the variational analysis in order to establish a simple analytical relation between safety factors with respect to strength and height. These two safety factors provide alternative measures for the stability of a given slope; but the safety factor with respect to height appears to have clearer physical interpretation.

A reliability-based approach to evaluating the stability of high rockfill dams using a nonlinear shear strength criterion

In recent years, many high rockfill dams have been constructed in China for the purpose of hydropower generation. One of the critical aspects of rockfill dam design is the analysis of slope stability. Triaxial compression tests show that the failure envelopes of rockfills are curved and that nonlinear shear strength criteria yield better predictions of the shear strengths of rockfills than the Mohr–Coulomb criterion. Because the determination of shear strength parameters involves uncertainties, a reliability-based methodology was developed for use in evaluating the failure probability of rockfill dam slopes by integrating Bishop’s simplified method, Duncan’s nonlinear strength criterion and the first-order second-moment reliability method presented in this paper. A computer program, SCU-SLIDE, was developed and its outputs validated by comparison with Monte Carlo simulation results. The approach developed was used to study the stability of the Shuang Jiang Kou rockfill embankment dam, which when completed will be the tallest dam in the world. The results of the stability analysis are discussed and conclusions are presented in this paper.
