Determination of the transportable moisture limit of iron ore fines for the prevention of liquefaction in bulk carriers

In 2013, over 500 million metric tons of Iron Ore Fines (IOF) were transported around the world using bulk carriers. Under certain conditions IOF, while being transported, can possibly undergo liquefaction.

Liquefaction Incidents of Mineral Cargoes on Board Bulk Carriers

Liquefaction is a frequently occurring problem taking place when transporting wet granular solid bulk cargoes on board bulk carriers. Liquefaction of a solid bulk cargo can occur when excessive dynamic loading, induced by rough seas and vessel vibrations, is transmitted to the cargo.

Variation of the geotechnical properties of Iron Ore Fines under cyclic loading

Liquefaction, which can result in a vessel capsizing, is one of many hazards involved when transporting bulk cargoes. The objective of this study is to determine the variability of the geotechnical properties of Iron Ore Fines (IOF) under cyclic loading at different moisture contents to determine the liquefaction potential.

Moisture content limits of Iron Ore Fines to prevent liquefaction during transport: Review and experimental study

Iron ore is without doubt one of the most essential commodities of our time. With this, the growing demand from countries, such as China and Japan for iron ore produced in countries, such as Australia and Brazil, is only increasing.

Parametric assessment of tailings liquefaction and earthquake induced embankment deformations using FLAC

Design of embankment dams often requires seismic analyses, or an assessment of earthquake induced ground and dam movements. There are a large number of cases where earthquakes have triggered sliding and lateral spreading of embankments, resulting in excessive crest settlements.

Bulk cargo liquefaction incidents during marine transportation and possible causes

During marine transportation, a combination of cyclic loading, fine particles and moisture within a bulk cargo can result in liquefaction causing the bulk carrier to list or capsize. The objective of this study is to investigate incidents where bulk cargoes liquefied during transportation and what resulted from these incidents, including the loss of human life and industry assets.

Evaluation and validation of phenomena culminating in cargoes of iron ore fines shifting during marine transportation

In 2011, legislation that governs the safe transportation of solid bulk cargoes, known as the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code (IMSBC Code), became mandatory under the SOLAS Convention. Included in this legislation are test methods used to determine a safe moisture content that certain solid bulk cargoes can contain, during transportation, if they have been deemed potentially liquefiable.

Slope stability evaluation of iron ore fines during marine transport in bulk carriers

A commodity, such as iron ore fines, shifting in the hold of a bulk carrier can lead to the vessel listing or capsizing. The objective of this study is to investigate the factors of safety pertaining to slope failure for both untrimmed and trimmed cargoes of iron ore fines during marine transportation.

Laboratory scale reproduction and analysis of the behaviour of iron ore fines under cyclic loading to investigate liquefaction during marine transportation

Specific hazards come with the transportation of solid bulk cargoes on bulk carriers. One unexpected hazard is the liquefaction of the cargo. Liquefaction is a phenomenon whereby cyclic or shock loading causes a commonly loose saturated material to flow like a liquid.
