Geotechnical and morphological properties of row and prosessed Bukit Goh bauxite

This study focus on the differences of geotechnical properties between raw and processed Bukit Goh bauxite. As bauxite material has high clay content which mostly composed of silicate minerals, it has high risk to cause cargo liquefaction which in turn causes catastrophic incident. This paper includ...
