Undrained Behavior of Ash and Silt by renuuuuu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the weak, contractive behavior of a thin layer of sensitive silt and ash slimes found at the bottom of loose ash deposits under Cells 2 and 3 of a tailings dam. The slimes have unusual properties like high water content, high liquidity, and low undrained shear strength. Laboratory tests show the slimes exhibit contractive, undrained behavior and can fail at 85% of peak strength during creep. Photos document the laminated structure of the slimes and their role in several historical fa
