Upstream tailings dams may experience slope stability problems when the rate of raising is too fast. Tailings consolidate slowly due to low hydraulic conductivity. The excess pore pressures can build up due to accelerated rate of raising. The cumulative increase ...

<p>Several tailings earthen dams have failed during past earthquakes. Due to the failure of tailings dam, the stored tailings waste releases into the surrounding locality causing a disaster for mankind. To reduce such phenomenon, both static and seismic analyses ...

<p>This paper presents a review of drained versus undrained methods of static stability analysis of upstream tailings dams, and how these relate to dilatant versus contractant behavior. The authors support the view that for upstream dams constructed of contractant, ...
