Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The backfilling mining method can promote the green, low-carbon, circular and sustainable development of traditional mines. Considering that the cemented backfill is a multi-phase composite material composed of tailings, gangue, cementing agent and other materials, it is crucial to accurately understand the mechanical properties and evolutionary laws of the composite backfill material (CBM) to ensure the safe production of backfilling mining. The most direct way to obtain the mechanical properties of materials is through indoor loading tests, such as uniaxial compression, triaxial compression, creep, cyclic loading and unloading. Secondly, researchers at home and abroad have found that the mechanical properties of CBM are closely related to the curing time, slurry concentration, aggregate gradation and additive type. In order to improve the comprehensive performance of CBM, most of the potential activity of solid waste is now stimulated by using a composite admixture. In addition, it is difficult to capture the internal structural evolution of CBM when it is subjected to external loads, so it is important to carry out numerical simulations to reveal its damage mechanism, taking into account the non-uniformity and anisotropy of CBM. With mining gradually moving deeper and deeper, CBM is facing complex environments, and therefore, the dynamic mechanical properties of CBM should be highly regarded compared to its quasi-static mechanical properties.
After the success of the Special Issue of Materials titled “Mechanical and Modeling of Composite Materials”, we are delighted to introduce this second edition.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect the latest research results on the mechanical properties and numerical modelling of CBM. At the same time, this Special Issue will provide information on the applicability of integrated design methods for mine backfill, as well as on the safety evaluation of mine backfill stability. We kindly invite you to submit original research and review articles.
