Numerical Analysis of the Influences of Water Level on Seepage Stability of Tailing Dam

Article Preview

Abstract:

Understanding the influences of water level on seepage stability of tailing bay is an important topics in hydraulic engineering design. The seepage stability of tailing bay under different water level was calculated with the numerical simulation software FLAC3D and the change laws of water pore pressure and saturation line in the dam was analyzed. The results show that the saturation line in the dam is a parabolic curve and the pore pressure changes in layers. With the increasing of water level, the saturation line in the heaping dam ups rather obviously while it is not obvious in the initial dam. The maximum pore pressure in the bottom of the dam increases with the relationship of water level up, the shallow of the saturation line is in the heaping dam heel.
