Effect of loading history on time dependent deformation of rockfill
The paper explores the time-dependent compressibility of coarse crushed quartzitic slate, focusing on the effects of the previous loading history. Large diameter oedometer tests were performed at different relative humidity (or total suctions) and ...

Wave Energy Dissipation in Rockfill
Very little literature exists on the subject of unsteady non-Darcy flow in coarse granular media. However, unsteady non-Darcy flow is encountered in a few important hydraulic problems, for example, (a) Wave absorption and transmission in rubble-mound break-waters; (b) Water level fluctuations in the rockfill and filter zones of a dam subjected to wave ...

Improving cemented rockfill design in open stoping
Cemented rockfill, CRF, is comprised of sized aggregate mixed with various types and amounts of binder materials. This type of fill with closely controlled specifications is employed for subsequent pillar recovery and improved ground support.The goal of ...

Suction effects on rockfill compressibility
A conceptual mechanism of rockfill deformation was postulated by Oldecop & Alonso (2001) on the basis of the observed rockfill behaviour in suction-controlled oedometer tests.
