This guidediscusses issues related to highwall mining and recontouring.Because of the chemical and physical charact
29、eristics of CCPsand the benefits derived from the use of CCPs in theseapplications, placement of CCPs in a surface mine settingqualifies as a beneficial use as defined in Terminology E2201.4.1.2 CCPs are ideally suited for use in numerous fillapplications. Structural fills and other high-volume fill

Project-specific testi

34、ereof can be used for minereclamation. Each of these materials typically exhibits generalphysical and chemical properties 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 engineeri
35、ng performance testing is recom-mended for the material(s) or combinations to be used in minereclamation projects. Guidance in evaluating the physical,engineering, and chemical properties of CCPs is given inSections 6 and 7.4.3 Engineering Properties and BehaviorDepending onthe mine reclamation appl
36、ication, 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 considered in engineeringapplications. These general
37、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 of materials, to be utilized fora structural fill.4.
38、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 will reduce the load on weak layers or zones ofsoft
39、 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 equalinternal angle of friction will exert less lateral p
40、ressure 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 gradation, with unit weight rangingfrom about 70 to
41、 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 alsorelatively lightweight, with unit weights ranging fro
42、m 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 variations in moisturecontent as are natural soils.4.3.2.
43、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 always, fly ash and FGD material typicallyexhibit a mea
44、surable 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 hardening or cementation has occurred priorto comp
45、action, 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 cementation has occurred. Compaction criteriaare usu
46、ally 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 mosteffective for the compaction of these materials. Botto
47、m 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 to noncohesive coarse-grained soils or fineaggregat
48、e. 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.4.3.3 Strength:4.3.3.1 Shear StrengthFor non-self-har
49、dening 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 although 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 materials of similar gradation.Ho
