Characterisation of spoil (surface mine overburden) material is essential when investigating geotechnical issues associated with the spoil, e.g., for investigating the stability of pit lakes formed with spoil or spoil-structure interaction for any structures built on the spoil as part of sustainable developments. A significant proportion of spoils found across European countries are classified predominantly...
Pit lakes are a common form of reclamation of areas where open pit mining activities have taken place. The development of these lakes often uses previous overburden materials, or “spoils”, that are readily available. Depending on the local geology, these spoil materials can contain large proportions of high-plasticity clays, which poses challenges in terms of the analysis and design of the sloped...
