Murray Grabinsky

Murray Grabinsky is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on Mining & Geomechanics, Mining Engineering, Liquefaction, and Cemented Paste Backfill (CPB), with an emphasis on sustainable infrastructure. His work explores the behavior of mine tailings and their management, particularly in the context of paste tailings and their application for surface disposal and underground backfill. Grabinsky's research includes the study of evaporation, drying, and the mechanical properties of cemented paste backfill, as well as the interaction between binder hydration and stope filling processes. His research has involved collaborations with mines in various regions and has contributed to the understanding of in situ properties and design optimization of CPB systems.

Murray Grabinsky is a Professor in Civil & Mineral Engineering at the University of Toronto, specializing in underground mine backfill. His research focuses on the geomechanical behavior and performance of cemented paste backfill (CPB) in mining applications. Grabinsky's work includes in situ measurements, numerical modeling, and laboratory testing to evaluate the properties and behavior of CPB under various conditions. His research also extends to the interaction between soil and infrastructure, such as the corrosion of cast iron water mains. Through field studies and experimental investigations, Grabinsky contributes to the development of more efficient and sustainable mine backfilling practices.
