Research objective: analysis of waste disposal issues in the mining and mineral processing industry of the Russian Federation. Research methodology: economic and environmental challenges concerned with mining and mineral processing waste in dumps and tailings were analysed. Results: an option is proposed to dispose of the waste rock generated by the mining and processing industry by using it for construction of railways and motor roads. This technology makes it possible to avoid construction of quarries and temporary settlements for their development along the road route, which will decrease the environmental impact and significantly reduce the time and cost of road construction. Conclusions: The proposed technology helps to achieve a significant economic effect (no costs for transporting materials from remote areas of the country), reduce the adverse environmental impact of mining operations and, in the long term, prevent dump formation.

“…Recycled Plastic Pins (RPPs) manufactured from plastic waste can be used in similar ways as a soil nailing application (Khan et al 2018). Typical waste materials include bottles, sawdust, and polymers (Khan et al 2016). The material is lightweight and less susceptible to common degradation mechanisms.…”

Erosion control of earth covered magazines to maintain minimum cover requirements

Soil erosion of cover for earth covered magazine (ECM) storage presents a unique challenge to traditional embankment practices. Due to the strict guidelines on the necessary soil cover, as well as material allowed for use in erosion deterrence, many traditional soil erosion techniques are not allowable. This report investigates current soil erosion techniques and their applicability to magazine cover focusing on regulations, costs, and ease of implementation. The techniques investigated were based on currently used techniques from 2003 to the present but did not include researchonly stage mechanisms. The objective of this research effort was to investigate currently available erosion mitigation methods and their feasibility for ECM application. Main areas of concern for ECMs are envisioned to be cost, ease of implementation, and potential for added debris. Based on the reviewed literature, it appears that chemical or vegetative stabilization are likely the best methods for ECMs' erosion prevention. This assumes that simple soil compaction is not adequate, as it is otherwise generally the best approach. After a selection is made of a proposed solution to this issue, additional testing is suggested as a proof of erosion deterrence.

“…Below a depth of 3 m (10 ft.), resistivity did not undergo significant fluctuations. This finding corroborated findings obtained from other studies conducted in the same area, which identified 3-3.66 m (10-12 ft.) as the depth of the active zone (Khan et al 2015).…”

Abstract. Seasonal climatic variations in subgrade soil affect pavement responses and can reduce pavement serviceability. In addition to causing shrinkage and swelling in expansive subgrade, variations in moisture suction may alter the material properties of soil, which ultimately affect pavement performance. The current study monitored the seasonal variation of subgrade moisture content, rainfall, and pavement deformation of a section over State Highway 342, in Dallas, Texas. Moisture sensors were installed at different depths up to 4.5 m. The soil was found to be highly plastic clay (CH) in the selected site. In addition to acquiring real-time moisture data from sensors, geophysical testing was also conducted on the slope of the pavement. Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) was carried out at the slope of the instrumented pavement section to observe the moisture flow at the edge of the pavement. Based on the field monitoring data, moisture variation ranged from 5% to 14%, with higher moisture contents correlating with rainfall events. While moisture sensors provided point information, resistivity imaging yielded a continuous portrayal of subsurface moisture flow. Furthermore, rainfall-associated deformation of the pavement was monitored. Based on the monitored data, it was observed that pavement deformation varied with rainfall. A total deformation of 38 mm was recorded over the monitoring period.
