RATIONALE FOR EXTENSION OF TAILINGS IMPERIAL DAM, CONSIDERING TAILINGS LIQUEFACTION DURING SEISMIC IMPACT
Keywords:
tailings dam, dam, seismic liquefaction, stability coefficient, pore pressure, upstream methodAbstract
Using the Ishtamberdy tailings dam as an example, this paper substantiates a method for increasing the stability of dam buildup under magnitude 9 seismicity conditions. Using dynamic analysis in the FLAC program, it is demonstrated that liquefaction of the saturated base leads to critical deformations and limits the possibility of constructing tiers above the 2026.0 m mark.
