Description
This research project has led to the development of a new approach to assess the saturated and unsaturated properties of soil material subjected to slaking. Constant saturation along with overburden pressure resulted in a larger vertical deformation ofInvestigation on geotechnical engineering properties of coal mine spoil subjected to slaking the slaking chambers; which is indicative of slaking, these results indicate that material slaking was occurring due to saturation and overburden pressure. This will have a substantial benefit to the mining operations with distinctive interest associated to safety of the mine spoil slopes, limiting failures to protect workers, equipment, and operational costs.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
