THE MASTER PROFILE FOR HYDRAULIC FILL TAILINGS BEACHES

Slopes formed of hydraulically deposited material assume profiles that are geometrically similar, almost irrespective of the length and height of the slope. The fact that hydraulic fill beaches will assume a master or Melent'ev profile can be used to advantage in the design of hydraulic fill ta...

Description
Summary:Slopes formed of hydraulically deposited material assume profiles that are geometrically similar, almost irrespective of the length and height of the slope. The fact that hydraulic fill beaches will assume a master or Melent'ev profile can be used to advantage in the design of hydraulic fill tailings storage dams. Describes some situations under which a master profile will form, and some characteristics of such profiles. Knowledge of the subject is far from complete. (Original abstract-amended)
