Whole of basin flood modelling

Subsequent to the findings of the Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry, Kellogg Brown & Root Pty Ltd was commissioned by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines to prepare whole of basin flood maps for 16 coastal river basins ranging in size from 1600 km2 to 142,700 km2 to improve flood emergency awareness in Queensland. The maps and animations developed provided an appreciation of flood magnitude for both the 1% Annual Exceedance Probable flood event and an extreme event intended to approximate the probable maximum flood.

Optimising the Erosional Performance of Store and Release Covers through Appropriate Landform Design

Increasingly store and release covers are being provided to tailings, waste rock and heap leach facilities as part of the closure design with the purpose of controlling percolation of rainfall runoff through these facilities. While the focus in design is on the specification of the cover with respect to percolation performance, the success of the cover over the long term is highly dependent on erosional stability.

Numerical Modelling of Seismic Liquefaction for Bobadil Tailings Dam

One of the causes of tailings dam failure has been seismically induced liquefaction during earthquakes. Liquefaction, if mobilised, significantly reduces the stiffness and strength of affected soils in the embankment dam or its foundation and may lead to large deformations and dam failure.

Cyclic Behavior of Iron Ore Fines on Board Bulk Carriers: Scale Model Analysis

Solid bulk cargoes have been known to liquefy in the holds of bulk carriers since the loss of the Bengal in 1910. Because of the increased demand for iron ore fines over the past 20 years, export industries have experienced further incidents where liquefaction of the cargo was the suspected cause.

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.
