  Field Monitoring and Numerical Modeling for Reliable Geotechnical Characterization of Mine Waste Dump
  Author(s): Fatma Tlili*, Nejib Ben Jamaa, Adel Kharroubi and Samir Ennour
  
  Reproducing a reliable numerical model close to the reality of mining embankments represents an increasingly demanding challenge for mining researchers and geotechnical engineers. The heterogeneity and uncertainty in the geotechnical parameters of the soil are among the most critical aspects to possibly include in the advanced analysis and design of mine embankments. The exploitation of the results of field monitoring instruments can be functional here to calibrate and improve the reliability and coherence between the numerical model and reality. In New Caledonia, the mining industry produces enormous quantities of discharges developed in the form of waste dumps. The instability of these embankments can create a risk of damaging ground movement. However, the mining operator must understand the behavior of stored material in order to avoid the phenomena of unplanned instabilities. The .. View More»
