Abstract
Three tests of slurried Jeeropilly coal tailings in a purpose-built slurry consolidometer under three different loading sequences were numerically analysed to study the friction losses quantitatively. A simplified sedimentation-consolidation theory was proposed to link the initial suspended state and soil-like state of slurries. The numerical simulations provided good agreement with the measured, and indicated the noticeable friction losses, from 11.1% to 34.2%, due to factors such as the diameter of consolidometers and loading sequences. The average coefficient of the stress (pore water pressure) stood at 1 at the beginning, and declined to a stable value around 0.55 (0.67).
