1. Tailings Dam Performance : Modeling and Safety Analysis of a Tailings dam
Abstract : Storage and management of mine waste are both needed in the mining industry. After mineral extraction of the ore, there are generally leftovers with insufficient economical value that need to be taken care of. The finest grained fractions are referred to as tailings. READ MORE

2. Mechanical Behavior of Tailings : Laboratory Tests from a Swedish Tailings Dam
Abstract : Tailings is leftover material from mining industry and is produced in huge quantities approximately 70-99% of the ore production. Tailings material is stored as impoundments by constructing tailings dams which are often constructed with tailings material itself. READ MORE

3. Mechanical Properties of Tailings : Basic Description of a Tailings Material from Sweden
Abstract : Tailings dams are constructed to store waste material from mining industry and usually these dams are raised with time depending upon production rate. Tailings material is sometimes used in construction of tailings dams. READ MORE

4. Numerical analyses of stability of a gradually raised tailings dam
Abstract : Numerical analyses are presented in this thesis to address potential stability problems that may occur during gradual raisings and under seismic loading conditions of Aitik tailings dam in northern Sweden. The dam is mainly raised using upstream construction method. It is planned to raise the dam gradually in several stages. READ MORE

5. Stability of tailings dams : focus on numerical modelling
Abstract : 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. READ MORE
