There is a worldwide increasing need of land-use in costal/waterfront areas. All kinds of
changes of geotechnical conditions in these areas pose potentially slope instability and …

In the present study, an attempt is made to characterize the tailing material using the
electrical resistivity method through a series of laboratory experiments. Tailing materials are …

The environmental impact of abandoned sulfide-bearing tailings mainly associated with the
generation of highly acidic, toxic waters causes a widespread public concern. Meanwhile, a …

Diante da crescente preocupação com os impactos socioambientais das roturas em
Instalações de Armazenamento de Rejeitos (TSF), esta tese aborda a urgência de buscar …

Tailings is leftover material from mining industry and is produced in huge quantities
approximately 70-99% of the ore production. Tailings material is stored as impoundments by …

Tailing is an artificial waste material that is created after the extraction of a metal from
mineral soils that seriously need to be investigated in various aspects, including from …

The shear strength of tailings can vary depending upon the type of ore and method of
construction. Tailings dams may possess loose layers in subsequent layers, which may …

Introduction Decades of mining in South Africa has given rise to hundreds of tailings storage
facilities (TSFs) and several tonnes of waste. These TSFs have contributed to air pollution …

Tailings are the waste product of mining which is left over after extraction of materials of
interest. Tailings material may possess different material properties depending upon type of …
