3、 reclamation applications, as inbeneficial use for reestablishing land contours, highwall recla-mation, and other reclamation activities requiring fills or soilreplacement. The purpose of this standard is to provideguidance on identification of CCPs with appropriate engineer-ing and environmental pe

Background4.1 Significance and UseCCPs can be effective materialsfor use for reclamation of surface mines. Following are keyscenarios in which CCPs
26、may be utilized beneficially in amined setting:Structural fillRoad constructionSoil modification or amendment for revegetation (5-9)Isolation of acid forming materials (5)Reduction of acid mine drainage (AMD) (5,10-15)Highwall mining (16,17)4.1.1 These options represent most, but not all, scenariosu
27、nder which CCPs would be returned to the mine. This guidediscusses issues related to highwall mining and recontouring.Because of the chemical and physical characteristics of CCPsand the benefits derived from the use of CCPs in theseapplications, placement of CCPs in a surface mine settingqualifies a
28、s a beneficial use as defined in Terminology E 2201.4.1.2 CCPs are ideally suited for use in numerous fillapplications. Structural fills and other high-volume fills aresignificant opportunities for placement of CCPs in minesituations for reclamation, recontouring, and stabilizing slopes.These applic
29、ations are the focus of this guide.4.1.3 Any type of CCP may be evaluated for use in minereclamation, even fly ash with high carbon content. Project-specific testing is necessary to ensure that the CCPs selectedfor use on a given project will meet the project objectives. Theuse of CCPs can be cost e
30、ffective because they are available inbulk quantities and reduce expenditures for the manufactureand purchase of borrow material, Portland cement, or quick-lime. Large-scale use of CCPs for mine reclamation conserveslandfill space by recycling a valuable product, provided that theCCP is environmenta
31、lly and technically suitable for the desireduse.4.2 Use of CCPs for Mine ReclamationE 2201 the Stan-dard on Fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, FGD material, andFBC ash or combinations thereof can be used for minereclamation. Each of these materials typically exhibits generalphysical and chemical prop
32、erties that must be considered in thedesign of a mine reclamation project using CCPs. The specificproperties of these materials vary from source to source, soenvironmental and engineering performance testing is recom-mended for the material(s) or combinations to be used in minereclamation projects.
33、Guidance in evaluating the physical,engineering, and chemical properties of CCPs is given inSections 6 and 7.3AASHTO, 444 N. Capitol St., NW, Suite 249, Washington, DC 20001.4The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis guide.E22430224.3 Engineering Propertie
34、s and BehaviorDepending onthe mine reclamation application, fly ash, bottom ash, boilerslag, FGD material, FBC fly ash, FBC bottom ash, or combi-nations thereof may have suitable and/or advantageous prop-erties. Each of these materials typically exhibits generalengineering properties that must be co
35、nsidered in engineeringapplications. These general engineering properties are dis-cussed in the following subsections; however, it should benoted that the specific engineering properties of these materialscan vary greatly from source to source and must be evaluatedfor each material, or combination o
36、f materials, to be utilized fora structural fill.4.3.1 Unit WeightMany CCPs have relatively low unitweights. This is sometimes referred to as “bulk density” in theliterature. The low unit weight of these materials can beadvantageous for some structural fill applications. The lighter-weight material
37、will reduce the load on weak layers or zones ofsoft foundation soils such as poorly consolidated or landslide-prone soils.Additionally, the low unit weight of these materialsmay reduce transportation costs, since less tonnage of materialis hauled to fill a given volume. Lower density fills of equali
38、nternal angle of friction will exert less lateral pressure onretaining structures.4.3.1.1 Fly ash is typically lighter than the fill soil itreplaces, with unit weight ranging from about 50 to 100 pcf (8to 16 kN/m3).4.3.1.2 Bottom ash is also typically less dense than coarse-grained soils of similar
39、gradation, with unit weight rangingfrom about 70 to 90 pcf (11 to 14 kN/m3).4.3.1.3 Boiler slag is typically as heavy as, if not heavierthan, natural soils of similar gradation, with unit weightranging from about 90 to 110 pcf (14 to 18 kN/m3).4.3.1.4 Oxidized and/or fixated FGD materials are alsore
40、latively lightweight, with unit weights ranging from about 50to 100 pcf (8 to 16 kN/m3).4.3.2 Compaction CharacteristicsMost CCPs can beplaced and compacted in a manner very similar to soil andaggregate fill materials. In fact, most CCPs exhibit very littlecohesion and are not as sensitive to variat
41、ions in moisturecontent as are natural soils.4.3.2.1 Fly ash, FGD material, and FBC ash are typicallyplaced and compacted in a manner similar to noncohesivefine-grained soils. Smooth-drum vibratory rollers or pneumatictired rollers typically compact these materials most effectively.Although not alwa
42、ys, fly ash and FGD material typicallyexhibit a measurable moisture-density relationship that can beutilized for compaction quality control. To take full advantageof the self-hardening properties of some fly ash, FGD material,and FBC ash, compaction soon after the addition of water isrecommended. If
43、 hardening or cementation has occurred priorto compaction, cementitious bonds may need to be disrupted torelocate the grains into a more dense state (18). Strength andpermeability will not be the same for self-hardening materialscompacted before cementation has occurred as for thosecompacted after c
44、ementation has occurred. Compaction criteriaare usually not specified for FGD material that exhibitsthixotropic properties.4.3.2.2 Bottom ash is generally placed and compacted in amanner similar to noncohesive coarse-grained soils or fineaggregate. Smooth-drum vibratory rollers typically are mosteff
45、ective for the compaction of these materials. Bottom ashmay or may not exhibit consistent moisture-density relation-ships. Bottom ash typically compacts best when saturated.Bottom ash should be compacted to a specified density.4.3.2.3 Boiler slag is generally placed and compacted in amanner similar
46、to noncohesive coarse-grained soils or fineaggregate. Smooth-drum vibratory rollers typically are mosteffective for the compaction of these materials. As with bottomash, boiler slag may or may not exhibit consistent moisture-density relationships. Boiler slag typically compacts best whensaturated.4.
47、3.3 Strength:4.3.3.1 Shear StrengthFor non-self-hardening fly ash andbottom ash, shear strength is derived primarily from internalfriction. Typical values for angles of internal friction fornon-self-hardening fly ash are higher than those for manynatural soils. These ashes are non-cohesive, and alth
48、ough theash may appear cohesive in a partially saturated state, thiseffect is lost when the material is either completely dried orsaturated.(1) Because of its angular shape, the shear strength ofbottom ash is typically greater than that of fly ash and is similarto the shear strength of natural mater
49、ials of similar gradation.However, friable bottom ash may exhibit lower shear strengththan natural materials of similar gradation.(2) The shear strength of boiler slag may be higher thanthat of natural materials of similar gradation, owing in part tothe typically angular shape and hardness of the particles.4.3.3.2 Compressive StrengthSelf-hardening CCPs andstabilized FGD material undergo a cementing process thatincreases with time. Hydration of dry self-hardening CCPscommences immediately upon exposure to water and cancement the CCP particles in a loose state, reducing th
