Results of torsional shear hollow cylinder (TSHC) tests carried out on a reconstituted sand
maintaining a constant direction of major principal stress relative to the vertical axis (α) and …

Several tailings dam failures have highlighted the potential for instability under prevailing
drained conditions, which can be represented in the laboratory using constant shear drained …

Assessing the risk of slope failures of earth structures comprising loose, saturated soils has
seen increased focus recently owing to a series of prominent tailings and water dam failures …

Upstream tailings dams are high-risk structures that have experienced several failures
worldwide, particularly with iron ore tailings (IOT). In this study, new disposal …

Loose tailings are susceptible to static liquefaction during which they lose a substantial
amount of their strength. This study examines a sustainable technique known as Microbially …

The drained instability of two gold mine tailings under lateral stress relief is investigated in
this study. Constant deviator stress (CDS) unloading tests were performed using a triaxial …

Tailings dams have relatively high failure rates throughout the world and the consequences
of these failures often result in significant loss of life and damage to the environment and …

Safe storage of mine tailings has challenged engineers as shown by numerous historical
tailings dam failures. While the storing of tailings behind tailings dams is the most practical …

Tailings dams, which are storage structures for tailings, often are constructed using the
tailings itself. A large number of tailings dam failures have been reported recently, especially …

Static liquefaction of mine tailings has been the interest of many studies as these materials
are generally deposited in a loose condition and stored at high saturation ratios. Yet few …
