Anthropogenic activity has created mine waste, particularly tailings,which are generated by many mining operations, and their storage provides anenormous challenge to designers and operators. The mechanical properties andcharacteristics of mine tailings can depend on many features such as the contentof the desirable mineral in the ore, the efficiency of the mineral processingstage, and the duration … Leer más

The soft clayey soils of the Former Texcoco Lake, a few kilometres north of Mexico City are highly compressible materials that exhibit very low shear strengths and are also characterized by having extremely high water contents. These soils have been studied extensively in the past but a revision of its properties and characteristics in now … Leer más

Many phenomena in nature can be represented as time series, and it is frequently necessary to know how theirfrequency content varies with time. If the time series is non-stationary and transient, this type of analysis can be performed using thewavelet transform. This approach allows a local analysis within windows having different frequency ranges. In this … Leer más

Lacustrine soils from the former Texcoco Lake within the Basin of Mexico, some 14 km north of Mexico City, have unique geotechnicalproperties. These materials have been thoroughly studied in the past, and yet, very few investigations have addressed the issue of theanisotropy of their shear stiffness modulus at very small strain levels (G0). Stiffness anisotropy, … Leer más
