Geotechnical parameters in tailings and fines: from the laboratory to the decision-making process.
The selection of geotechnical parameters in tailings and fines requires governance, expertise, and connection to operational decisions, not just single values…
Kinematics of rock slopes: from rapid screening to defensible decision-making.
The kinematics of rock slopes is a critical preventive control that avoids false approvals and supports defensible operational decisions.
Water in Fractured Rock: Why a "zero" piezometer reading doesn't mean a safe slope.
In fractured rock slopes, low piezometric readings can mask critical pressures due to connectivity and transient recharge.
Geometric adhesion and Catch Benches as a safety barrier: the impact of maintenance on risk reduction.
The loss of geometric grip on catch benches compromises a critical safety barrier and transforms cumulative degradation into a risk…
