Abstract:A tailings dam is normally constructed through self-consolidation with minimum compaction effort. Accordingly, special attention to the ultimate limit design in assessing the tailings dam instability condition is of primary importance. Furthermore, the existence of pore fluid chemical contaminants with high concentrations makes soil hydraulic and shear resistance properties subject to considerable changes.Therefore, this study aims to investigate the stability of a tailing dam using saturated-unsaturated flow … Show more
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.
