The soil liquefaction is a major cause of damage in structures during earthquakes. This
damage varies from small settlements to complete failure due to the loss of bearing capacity …

A great amount of earthquakes have caused the collapse of important structures along the
history. The design of earthquake-resistant structures depends greatly of the soil-structure …

A significant number of tailings dam failures have occurred around the world in the last few
decades resulting in fatalities, damage to infrastructure and environmental harm. Among …

A typical upstream tailings storage facility (TSF) cross-section was evaluated using three
constitutive soil models; Mohr-Coulomb, Modified Cam Clay and P2PSand, to numerically …

Modelling geotechnical problems involving large deformation is a research field that
arouses growing interest since it is fundamental for evaluating the risk and quantifying the …

Liquefaction is the major failure mode of tailing dams during earthquakes according to
ICOLD report, 2001. This study aims to assess the liquefaction potential at different depths …

Frequency content, duration, and intensity are earthquake characteristics that are commonly
considered when conducting seismic site response analysis. However, one important …

Geotechnical analyses of tailing storage facilities (TSF) are nowadays very frequently based
on critical state soil mechanics concepts. Obtaining a critical state line (CSL) for the different …

Dynamic stability and liquefaction of tailings dams are great concerns for geotechnical
engineers. In this study, the seismic response of the Esphordi mine tailing dam located in …
