Proceedings of a specialty conference on hydraulic fill structures, held in Fort Collins, Colorado, August 15-18, 1988. Sponsored by the Geotechnical Engineering Division of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 53 papers covering many aspects of hydraulic fill structures with special emphasis on geotechnical issues. The papers present an excellent review of historical development, as well as art and practice of hydraulic fill structures. Topics include: excavation, transport, and deposition; material properties; static and dynamic stability; soil improvement/geosynthetics; new developments, and case histories. Specific areas of interest include historical reviews, dredging technology and dredge spoil disposal, depositional behavior, mine backfill, tailings disposal, slurry pipelines, hydraulic fill properties and behavior, static and dynamic loading conditions, densification and improvement of hydraulic fills, artificial islands, land reclamation, and case histories of successes and failures.

You won't find a better basic reference on the technology of precious metal heap leaching. Whether you're a regulator, consulting engineer, investor, mining company employee, or simply interested in obtaining a fundamental knowledge of precious metal heap leaching, this is the book for you. Although intended to be an introduction, the book includes some fairly technical material--essential in providing even a general basis for understanding the technology involved and its useful application. 
The book is divided into three major parts: 
 Overview--Predevelopment Aspects of Heap Leaching Design--Elemental Development of Heap Leaching Beyond Design--Considerations Critical to Project Success. 
It also includes a bibliography of references directly related to the gold heap leaching process and a complete index.
