A Method for Estimating the Area Covered by Tailings in a Dam Failure Scenario
https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0235-3152
Abstract Tailing dams are structures constructed to create reservoirs for disposing mine waste. Due its relative lower costs, when compared with other alternatives for tailings disposal, this kind of structure is often chosen by many mining companies. However, poor construction, malpractice, or negligence during the dam operation can lead the dam to fail, causing tailings release affecting the downstream population and the local fauna and flora. This paper presents a method based on the infinite slope theory that aims to predict the potentially covered areas by the tailings released from a reservoir, in an eventual dam failure. This method was used to predict the affected area covered by tailings after dam failure simulations using small-scale physical modelling and hypothetical valleys with different slopes. The validation of the mathematical model was made by comparing its predictions with those obtained from small-scale physical models and with the Lucia’s Method as reported by (Lucia in Review of experiences with flow failures of tailings dams an tailing impoudments, University of California, Berkeley, 1981) results.
