Yield stress and strength of saline cemented tailings materials in sub-zero environments: slag-paste backfill

This paper presents the results of an investigation that aimed to evaluate the influence of sodium chloride (NaCl or salt) on the yield stress and evolution of the strength of a cemented tailings material (called cemented paste backfill, CPB) that contains ground granulated blast furnace slag (Slag-CPB) in sub-zero environments. About 200 CPB specimens with different NaCl concentrations (0, 5, 35, and 100 g/L) and cured at −6 °C are tested at...
