CHARACTERIZATION OF CEMENTED BACKFILLS PRODUCED BY REUSE OF WASTE MATERIALS
Thesis in external company
keywords APPLIED GEOMECHANICS, FEM SIMULATION, MINING WITH BACKFILL, REUSE
Reference persons DANIELE MARTINELLI
Thesis type EXPERIMENTAL AND SIMULATION
Description The thesis work consists mainly of:
● Investigating using finite element models the stresses (global/local) acting on our backfilling
● Researching technical characteristics of optimized backfilling strengths (tensile and compressive), providing new FEM models describing different backfilling strategies/options.
● Familiarization of extractive operation both in an operational and mine planning perspective.
● Selecting one or several areas that might be particularly suited to the new backfilling strategy.
● Establishing an existing baseline then modelling and scoping from an operational and technical perspective, implementation of the new backfilling method.
The position will be based in Pomeifré (Prali) / remote and will be supervised by the Imerys Talc Italy mining team, working with the mining engineer, mine manager, production manager and geologists.
