Mud-Sand Flow Hazard Spatial Simulation and Analysis of Tailing Dam-Break under Different Preventive Measures

Abstract:

It is an important precondition and basis for the design of tailings reservoir and its safety facilities by reasonably judging and estimating the mud-sand flow hazard due to dam-break. In this paper, the mud-sand flow hazard scope, extent and spatial state after dam-broken of heightened Mawuqing tailing dam were simulated and analyzed through a flood and debris flow numerical simulation approach, and the hazard risk grade of different spatial locations of downstream Xiaoqingkou(XQK) village was obtained from the simulation. Then the spatial simulation of sand flow hazard under different preventive measures was carried out, and the variation of hazard risk grade at different spatial locations in XQK was obtained. The result of spatial simulation and analysis has shown that if the retaining wall or detention dam is set at the edge of the village, the risk hazard of the village due to dam-break can be reduced after the tailing dam is heightened. At the same time, it can be concluded that to reduce dam break hazard the above local engineering measures are more effective than an overall engineering measures to control the mud-sand flow. The spatial simulation and analysis have provided the basis to make more reasonable engineering decision and protection measures for XQK after the reconstruction of the tailing dam, and also provided the technical support for tailing dam-break accident prevention, the safety management of tailing dam and the mine production safety.
