1st Za Chieh-Moh Distinguished Lecture: The Geotechnical Problems of the World Second Largest Copper Tailings Pond at Zelazny Most, Poland

M. Jamiolkowski, W.D. Carrier, R.J. Chandler, K. Hoeg, W. Swierczynski and W. Wolski

ABSTRACT: The paper summarizes the experiences of the writers in assisting KGHM (the Polish acronym for Copper Mine and Mill Company) in the development of one the world‟s largest copper tailings disposal facility, located in South-West Poland. This paper describes the tailings disposal facilities, the geological features of the area with particular emphasis on the considerable influence of the various Pleistocene glaciations, and the geotechnical aspects of the design and construction. The geotechnical characterization of the tailings and of the foundation soils is described, focusing on their shear strength, on the mining-induced seismicity and on the factors controlling the stability of the ring-dam that confines the tailings. Finally, the results of the analyses of the stability of the dam, together with the details of the intensive monitoring of the performance of the dam, the latter carried out by KGHM, are presented.

Testing in Geotechnical Design

Dennis E. Becker

ABSTRACT: Testing is an inherent and integral element of geotechnical design. This paper describes and discusses geotechnical testing in the design process from a consulting practitioner’s perspective of the current state-of-practice. The role, objectives, types and interpretation of testing, limitations and recommended good practices are presented. Successful implementation of testing in design is demonstrated through examination of test data from a few case records.

Shaking Table Tests for Studies of Soil Liquefaction and Soil-Pile Interaction

T.S. Ueng

ABSTRACT: Physical model tests using a large biaxial laminar shear box on the shaking table at the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE), Taiwan was conducted to study the liquefaction behavior of saturated sand under one-and multi-directional earthquake shakings. Specimens of clean Vietnam silica sand and Mailiao sand with silt were prepared using specially designed pluviators. Model piles made of steel and aluminum pipes were also placed inside the shear box to evaluate the pile performances and soil-pile interaction within saturated Vietnam sand under shakings. The input shakings included sinusoidal and recorded earthquake accelerations. Pore water pressure changes and accelerations within the soil, displacements and accelerations of the shear box frames, bending and accelerations of the piles at various depths, pile top displacements were measured during the shaking table tests. Settlement of the sand surface after each shaking was also measured. Some analyses using the test results on soil liquefaction, settlement, behavior of pile in saturated sand under shaking were presented.

Rainfall-Triggered Landslide: from research to mitigation practice in Thailand

Suttisak Soralump

ABSTRACT: Landslide is a serious treat to Thai society. Every 3 to 5 years large landslide is triggered by heavy rainfall. The northern and southern part is the most vulnerable part of the country to landslide hazard. This paper presents the researches done by Geotechnical Engineering Research and Development Center (GERD) which concentrating on the determination of the behavior of rainfall-triggered landslide by using Geotechnical method. It’s found that it is possible to apply Geotechnical method for landslide risk management in large area with the link of using rainfall data from rain gauge or satellite image.
