Critical State Loci of Superheavy Iron Ore Tailings from Sampling in Brumadinho Reservoir

Abstract

AbstractThe uniqueness of critical state loci remains uncertain, which is a factor of significant importance in tailing storage facilities in which these lines play a fundamental role in structure stability and design. This study explored the uniqueness ...Practical ApplicationsThis work details the mechanical behavior of a nontextbook material collected at the failure surface of an emblematic mine tailings dam failure case study. The aim is to contribute to the best geotechnical engineering practices for ...
