Study on the Strength Development of Cemented Backfill Body from Lead-Zinc Mine Tailings with Sulphide by Juanrong Zheng, Lijie Guo, Xiaoxiao Sun, Wenchen Li, Qi Jia

“…The results showed that the UCS of the cemented backfill body with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as binder decreased in the later curing days, regardless of particle size. Under the same conditions, the higher the OPC content, the higher the UCS of the cemented backfill body, and the UCS of the cemented backfill body began to decrease at the longer curing days. …”
