A Statistical Model for Strength Estimation of Cemented Rockfill in Vertical Block Mining
Extensive rockfill cylinder testing was performed to determine the effect that aggregate size, aggregate moisture, Portland cement, fly ash and cement dispersant addition has on compressive strength of a cemented backfill. In this paper `two-level factorial' and `central composite' designs were used to determine the single and interaction effects that each factor have on the overall strength. The results from the design- work indicated that the per cent of aggregate fines had the greatest influence on the compressive strength of the rockfill cylinders. From the factorial design results, a compressive strength estimation equation was derived, which enables the strength to be estimated, given varying input Values.
