Happy to announce that our paper “Results of a dilatancy round robin” has just been published in Geotechnical Research: https://lnkd.in/g95nun3k Big thanks to all the team members for this one, as it required a number of consulting laboratories to do a significant amount of work for “free” in the interests of improving our understanding of the reliability in obtaining dilatancy parameters from dense triaxial tests.  The program was organised by UWA (Andy Fourie and me) with entries provided by BGC (Simon Dickinson, Thavakumaran Shanmugarajah), Golder WSP (Riccardo Fanni, Kyle Smith), KCB (Juan Garfias, Bin Yuan,) and UofT (Mason Ghafghazi, Adam Duyvestyn). The program was run in two stages, only the first of which had been planned: Stage 1: Everyone did dense tests using whatever preparation method they preferred at the time. The results showed much variation, leading to the need for further work. Stage 2: After seeing how inconsistent the results were from Stage 1, Stage 2 involved use of a form of slurry deposition (SD) and air drying (AD) to prepare dense samples and see if these techniques improved cross-laboratory consistency (they did). Further, SD and AD specimens gave much lower values of “Chi” than methods involving compaction and/or densification in layers. The implications and potential reasons for this are many and probably a matter of opinion, and therefore likely beyond the scope of a LinkedIn post. This work formed part of TAILLIQ, and we are very grateful to the ARC and our sponsors (BHP, Rio Tinto, Teck, Newmont, Freeport McMoRan and Anglo American) without whose assistance this project would not have been possible.

It's that time of year again! Pride, yes, but also time to buckle down for technical paper reviews in support of Geotechnical Frontiers (GeoCongress) 2025! If you are interested in supporting this conference, getting inside information on up-and-coming research before it's published, and/or getting a sneak peek at conference content, please considering signing up to be a reviewer at the link below. Maximum recommended number of papers to review is two (2), so this should be relatively easy service to the geotechnical community. https://lnkd.in/g4dEATzs Geo-Institute of ASCE

Represented by geotechnical engineer Juan Andres Huang, Water Services and Technologies presented trends on the integration of regional hydrogeological models with geotechnical models, focusing on pore pressure distribution estimation. “This integration captures the three-dimensional nature of hydraulic gradients, a result of geological heterogeneities in mining complexes, such as fractured zones and/or low-permeability zones—an essential aspect for ensuring mine planning safety and efficiency,” Huang explained. Organized by RG Gold the event brought together experts from around the globe to share advancements and solutions that are transforming the industry, enabling greater accuracy in geotechnical risk management and groundwater control. The integrated approaches championed by Water Services and Technologies enhance planning and execution in open-pit mines, contributing to the preservation of water and environmental resources.
