The Slope Risk Analysis of Tailings Dam under the Coupling Effect of Rainstorms and Earthquakes

Article Preview

Abstract:

For slope risk analysis of tailings dam, the current research focuses on treating physical and mechanical parameters of tailing materials as the basic random variables. The influence of the external natural random factors is considered little. In practice, the slope stability of tailings dam is influenced by not only their random material parameters but the various natural factors including the changes of water level and the seismic intensity size. As a rule of thumb, there might be heavy rains before the earthquake. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the slope risk of tailings dam under the coupling effect of rainstorms and earthquakes. Aiming at this problem, reliability theory was employed in this paper to study the influence under both rainstorms and earthquake actions. In this project, the slope risk analysis of tailings dams is evaluated under natural multi-random factors.
