Summary: In this study, a discrete element model considering media properties and interface differences was constructed to reveal the mesoscopic fracture characteristic of cemented rockfill. The effects of aggregate strength and mass fraction on strength, deformation, energy, and cracking of cemented rockfill were investigated. The results showed that the failure induced by damaged aggregates is more severe than the generally concerned two-element intergranular fracture. The development of cemented rockfill requires attention to the compatibility characterized by the aggregates to cement matrix strength ratio and aggregate mass fraction.

Summary: In this study, the influence of ammonia content on the performance of FA-based CPB was investigated. It was found that with the increase in ammonia content, the yield stress and viscosity of the FA-based CPB slurry increased, while the slump value decreased. The uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of FA-based CPB decreased as the ammonia content of FA increased. The results provide reference for the green and efficient use of ammonium-containing FA.

Summary: The combined influence of curing temperature, silica modulus, and activator concentration on the time-dependent rheology of alkali-activated slag-cemented paste backfill (AAS-CPB) was investigated. Higher curing temperature reduced fluidity and increased thixotropy of CPB. A higher activator concentration weakened rheological parameters initially, but resulted in a more rapid growth rate later. AAS-CPB with higher silica modulus consistently had lower rheological parameters. The linear correlation between thixotropy and plastic viscosity differed between OPC-CPBs and AAS-CPBs.

Summary: The relation between segregation and strength of cemented waste rock backfill (CWRB) was analyzed by examining the aggregate distribution, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), and failure law of the CWRB with different mass concentrations and accelerator contents. The test results showed that higher mass concentration and accelerator content led to more uniform aggregate distribution, improved skeleton structure, increased UCS, and changed material properties from plastic to elastic. The strength of the CWRB increased exponentially with the increase of the aggregate uniformity coefficient.

Summary: Locally fiber-reinforced layered cemented paste backfill (FR-LCPB) was prepared and tested to investigate its fracture resistance under different fiber content and reinforcement position. The results showed that the addition of fibers significantly improved the fracture resistance of FR-LCPB, with an optimal fiber content of 0.6%. The flexural strength, peak deflection, and bending modulus of FR-LCPB increased with the decrease of the distance between the fiber reinforcement position and the lower layer. Furthermore, the addition of fibers enhanced the CPB's brittle damage characteristic, ensuring it retained some strength even after failing.

The results show that the compressive strength of CGFB samples mainly depends on the mechanical behavior of the cement-tailings grout (CTG) and the microscopic features of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between the coal gangue (CG) aggregate and CTG matrix. The response of ringing counts and AE energy to the development of stress shows a clear time-varying response law.

The results showed that ARS improved the dynamic compressive strength of the backfill under single impact load with different strain rates. Under cyclic impact loads, the mechanical properties of the backfill decreased with an increase in the cyclic impact times, but the incorporation of ARS promoted the absorption of energy and decelerated the decay rate. The research results provide a reference for understanding the dynamic mechanical response of cemented tailings backfill with ARS.

The rheological and wall-slip characteristics of CTWB paste were analyzed and a numerical model was established to simulate the flow process. The results showed that CTWB is a yield-plastic fluid with shear-thickening phenomenon at certain solids content. Increasing the coarse aggregate content improved the fluidity of the paste. The slip behavior of the CTWB paste was significantly affected by the tailing-waste rock ratio, inlet velocity, and solid content.

Summary: In this study, a novel two-step intercritical heat treatment was used to adjust the microstructure of an ultra heavy E500 offshore engineering steel. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the steel were significantly improved after thermo-mechanical controlled processing, especially in terms of elongation and low-temperature toughness at the center location. This improvement can be attributed to a more homogeneous chemical composition distribution and the fine multiphase microstructure with stable retained austenite obtained in the segregation region.

Summary: This paper analyzes the damage evolution of cemented paste backfill (CPB) under different loading rates using indoor tests and numerical simulations. The moment tensor theory is introduced to simulate the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics during the loading process, and the energy conservation principle is used to explore the loading rate (LR) effect on the backfill. The results show that the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of the backfill first increases and then decreases as LR increases. Microcracks in the backfill slowly increase and are not significantly affected by LR until after the peak value, when they rapidly expand and propagate to form mesoscopic cracks. The temporal and spatial distribution of AE events based on the moment tensor theory are consistent with laboratory test results, and they can be divided into different periods. The characteristics of AE events are also consistent with the evolution of microcracks, with fewer events before the peak value and a significant increase in magnitude and frequency after the peak value. AE events dense zone and events with larger magnitudes increase under higher LR. Furthermore, the boundary energy and dissipation energy gradually increase, while the strain energy first increases and then decreases. These findings provide insights into the damage evolution characteristics of backfill under different LR and AE mesoscopic simulation.

Summary: The management of tailings created during ore processing is a challenging task for mining companies and the environment. This study focuses on the usability of dam tailings in cemented mine/paste backfill (CMB/CPB), considering the physico-chemical and micro-structural aspects. The results show that the strength of backfill can be improved by increasing basicity/age, but backfills made with sulfide-rich tailings may experience a decrease in strength. Additionally, the pH values detected by chemical tests can increase or decrease over time due to acid formations and erosions, which play a key role in the deterioration of CPB physically, chemically, and microstructurally.

Summary: The study shows that with increasing wetting-drying cycles, the porosity and permeability of CPB samples increase, with those having smaller particle size distribution and cementing strength being more sensitive. The uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of CPB samples deteriorate during wetting-drying cycles, especially for those with smaller particle size distribution and cementing strength. The deterioration process of mechanical properties of CPB samples due to wetting-drying cycles can be divided into initial deterioration and re-deterioration stages, with the periodic destruction of the cemented structures verified through microstructure analysis.
