Stability Analysis of Tailing Dam under the Action of Seepage

Article Preview

Abstract:

A finite element model of tailings dam model was used to simulate the steady seepage field and analysis the stability under different working conditions. The head contour, velocity, seepage flow and seepage gradient was analyzed. The stability against sliding in this tailings dam was analyzed with the help of the simplified Bishop method which is based on rigid body limit equilibrium coupled with seepage force. The security coefficient under different working conditions was calculated. The analysis result shows that the safety factor meets the specification requirements, and which provides reference for the stability evaluation of tailings dam.
