As an important facility for mine exploitation, the safety of tailings dam is very important in high seismic intensity area. In this paper, the seismic stability analysis of tailings dam located in high intensity area was carried out by taking the example of one tailings dam. Three-dimensional finite element model was established, and the calculation results were analyzed and compared under fixed boundary condition and viscous spring boundary condition. The results showed that, (1) Under the static condition, the deformation value is distributed in layers from top to bottom. (2) Under the seismic condition, it can be seen that the Z direction deformation is the largest, followed by the X direction, and the Y direction deformation is the smallest. (3) It is too conservative to evaluate the seismic stability of dam slope with the minimum safety coefficient, while it is more practical to use the minimum average safety factor as the evaluation index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
