The term "Placer" means a deposit of loosely distributed gravel which contains precious metals like gold or other heavy minerals. The word placer was derived from the Spanish word meaning "sand bank."

The use of gold tailings in construction practice is not extensively addressed in the literature. In fact, studies in the literature are often limited to report mechanical properties of concrete incorporated gold tailings. For instance, Reddy et al. (2016) studied the incorporation of gold mine tailings as a replacement for river sand in concrete.

Prior to mining, exploration takes place to find gold-bearing ore in commercially viable concentrations. Geochemical and geophysical techniques are used to identify the presence of a buried ore deposit. Geologists drill to check mineral quality in identified locations. ... At this stage of the process, the ore is ground down to fine sand-like ...

Steel fibers act as a type of concrete toughening material, and graphite tailings serve as a partially alternated aggregate to sand. Mechanical properties exhibited by the concrete are assessed ...

Increasing Strength: Adding stronger metals to gold alloys enhances mechanical strength, making them suitable for demanding environments in aerospace and electronics. ... One of the most intriguing properties of gold is its exceptional reflectivity. Gold does not absorb any light rays at all, reflecting light with remarkable efficiency, making ...

Gold tailings are by-products discarded near the mining area after gold mining [14]. With the rapid development of mining, the reserves of high-quality ore continue to decrease. The gold mine grade is expected to drop from 3 to 4 g/t in 2012 to 1 g/t in 2050. Currently, China produces more than 24.5 million tons of gold tailings every year [15].

Significant factors believed to be responsible for tailings dam failure which can lead to loss of lives, destruction of properties and assets or damage to the environment are the mechanics of material characteristics and static liquefaction. It is therefore essential to understand the tendency for the likely occurrence of liquefaction in tailings dam as well as mechanics …
