Large voids created by underground mining are backfilled to provide regional ground support. This thesis examines using conventional oedometer techniques and electromagnetic (EM) techniques to characterize consolidation and binder hydration in mine backfill so that EM monitoring can be used in the field to provide real-time feedback to operators to optimize the backfilling process. New techniques are given for interpreting the full range of deformation (initial compression, primary and secondary consolidation). Deformation due to initial compression is non-trivial and may have to be accounted for in numerical back-analyses of field case studies. EM parameters are sensitive to binder content, progress of hydration and loss of water caused by consolidation and binder hydration. The integrated interpretation of consolidation and EM behaviours has significant potential impact on real-time monitoring of mine backfill operations, and recommendations are made to advance the technique for this purpose.

Esse perfil é classificado pela pedologia como um Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo. Para atingir esse objetivo foram realizados ensaios de caracterização, ensaios triaxiais e ensaios edométricos no teor de umidade natural e saturado. Nos ensaios de caracterização constatou-se o comportamento laterítico do solo. Nos ensaios edométricos quando os corpos de prova foram inundados nas tensões normalmente adotadas em projetos de fundações de edificações de pequeno e médio porte, construções características da cidade, constatou -se indícios de expansibilidade e colapsibilidade, apontando para a necessidade de estudos mais aprofundados sobre esses fenômenos em outras localidades do município / Abstract: The survey has the objective to investigate the geotechnical behavior of a typical soil profile at Bragança Paulista city - São Paulo State - Brazil. This profile is classified by the pedology as Red Yellow Oxisoil. To achieve this aim were accomplished characterization geotechnical tests, triaxial tests and consolidation tests. In the characterization tests was proved the lateritic behavior of the soil. In the consolidation tests when the samples were saturated in the tensions normally stipulated in edifications foundations projects at small and medium conveyance the results had pointed colapsible and expansive soil existence at the referred city / Mestrado / Geotecnia / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

[pt] Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade de amostras intactas da Argila do Sarapuí II extraídas com amostradores tubulares de pistão estacionário Geonor/NGI 76 mm. Este amostrador possui comprimento útil de 800 mm e diâmetro interno de 76,2 mm sem folga interna, dispondo de um pistão estacionário com ponta cônica, não sendo necessária a execução de pré-furo para a sua cravação. Duas amostras foram extraídas entre as profundidades de 3,50 e 4,30 m, sendo que um dos tubos de amostragem teve a sua superfície interna revestida com um polímero de baixo coeficiente de atrito, com o intuito de reduzir a tensão cisalhante entre a amostra e o amostrador durante a manobra de cravação do tubo no solo e, assim, avaliar a influência dessa redução na qualidade das amostras. As qualidades das amostras foram avaliadas com base nos resultados de ensaios de adensamento edométrico de carga incremental realizados em corpos de prova moldados com diâmetros de cerca de 50 mm e de 70 mm e altura de 20 mm, o que possibilitou também a avaliação da influência do diâmetro do corpo de prova na qualidade. Todos os corpos de prova foram classificados como de qualidade excelente a muito boa segundo o critério de Lunne et al. (1997), não tendo sido observada influência do diâmetro do corpo de prova nos resultados. Da mesma forma, a aplicação do polímero na superfície interna do tubo de amostragem parece não ter exercido influência nas qualidades dos corpos de prova. / [en] The aim of this work is to evaluate the quality of intact Sarapuí II clay samples taken with stationary piston tube samplers Geonor/NGI 76 mm. This sampler has a net tube length of 800 mm and an inner diameter of 76,2 mm with no inside clearance. It has a cone ended stationary piston, and pre-drilled boreholes are not required when driving the sampler. Two samples were taken from a depth l of 3.50 m to 4.30 m. One of the sampler tubes was coated on the inside with a low friction polymer in order to try to reduce the shearing stress between the sample and the sampler tube when pushing the tube during sampling, as to evaluate the influence of such reduction on the quality of the samples. The sample s quality was evaluated based on the results of incremental-loading one-dimensional consolidation tests carried out on specimens trimmed with diameters of about 50 mm and 70 mm, and a height of 20 mm. This also allowed the evaluation of the influence of the specimen s diameter on quality. All specimens were classified as excellent to very good according to Lunne et al s (1997) criterion. Moreover, no influence of the specimen diameter on the results was observed. Furthermore, the use of the polymer on the inner surface of the sampler tube seems to have had no influence on the quality of the specimens.

[pt] Um grande movimento de massa ocorrido em 28 de Março de 2013 no Porto de Santana, na região da foz do Rio Amazonas, no Amapá, motivou o estudo das características de compressibilidade de argilas moles a partir do material reconstituído. Os solos naturais diferem dos solos reconstituídos devido à influência da micro e macroestrutura. O conceito de linha de compressão intrínseca (ICL) proposto por Burland (1990) permite uma avaliação quantitativa da diferença no comportamento de compressão do solo nestas duas condições. Neste estudo, são analisados dois depósitos de solo mole da costa brasileira (Tijucas, SC e Porto de Santana, AP) e uma mistura artificial obtida em laboratório com caulim e bentonita na proporção de 98:2 em peso. Um total de 8 amostras são reconstituídas com teor de umidade igual a 1,25 vezes o limite de liquidez e submetidas a ensaios convencionais de adensamento (SIC - standard incremental consolidation tests). As curvas de adensamento das amostras reconstituídas apresentam boa concordância com a ICL proposta por Burland (1990), principalmente no intervalo de tensões de 100 a 1.000kPa. As análises evidenciam a presença de estrutura do solo natural, sendo encontrada uma maior influência nas argilas do Porto de Santana, as quais apresentam índice de vazios normalizado (Iv) de até 1,85. As correlações empíricas para obtenção dos parâmetros intrínsecos de compressibilidade e100 e Cc propostas por Burland (1990) não apresentaram bons ajustes para os resultados experimentais aqui reportados. / [en] A large mass movement occurred on March 28, 2013 at the Port of Santana, in the region of the mouth of the Amazon River in Amapá, motivated the study of compressibility characteristics of soft clays from the reconstituted material. Natural soils differ from reconstituted soils due to the influence of micro and macrostructure. The concept of the intrinsic compression line (ICL) proposed by Burland (1990) allows a quantitative evaluation of the difference in soil compression behavior in these two conditions. In this study, two soft clay deposits of the Brazilian coast (Tijucas, SC and Porto de Santana, AP) were analyzed and an artificial mixture made in the laboratory with kaolin and bentonite in the proportion of 98: 2 by weight. A total of 8 samples are reconstituted with moisture content equal to 1.25 times the liquid limit and subjected to conventional consolidation tests (SIC - standard incremental consolidation tests). The consolidation curves of the reconstituted samples show good agreement with the ICL proposed by Burland (1990), especially in the stress range of 100 to 1,000 kPa. The analyzes show the presence of natural soil structure, with a higher influence in the Santana Port clays which have a normalized void index (Iv) up to 1.85. The empirical correlations to obtain the intrinsic parameters of compressibility e 100 and Cc proposed by Burland (1990) did not present good adjustments for the experimental results here reported.
