What is Updated Rockfill Strength Envelopes about?
This paper introduces a new shear strength criterion and empirical model for rockfill and coarse mine waste rock, based on over 900 large-scale triaxial tests. The model aims to improve upon the existing Leps strength envelopes by providing a more accurate and practical tool for estimating rockfill strength, accommodating various rock types and void ratios. It also demonstrates practical applications through case studies involving a rockfill dam and a mine waste stockpile.
