Experimental testing of geomechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill (FR-CPB) under warmer curing temperature
(2020)
Backfilling techniques enable improved ore recovery and structural stability to underground mines
employing a material to fill the voids after the excavation. Fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill
(FR-CPB) is this ...
