A Novel Experimental Database on the Cyclic Response of Mine Tailings

This study presents an experimental database focused on the cyclic response of mine tailings compiled from various sources. The database is organized considering three classes. Class A contains cyclic simple shear (CSS), triaxial (Tx), and cone penetration testing (CPTu) information, Class B has CSS and Tx or CPTu information, and Class C has only CSS information. Most materials belong to Class A. Of note, Class C is comparable with most databases for natural soils; hence, highlighting the uniqueness of our database. This data can give valuable insight into the field and lab scale response of mine tailings to cyclic loading.
