Results of torsional shear hollow cylinder (TSHC) tests carried out on a reconstituted sand
maintaining a constant direction of major principal stress relative to the vertical axis (α) and …

The critical state approach currently finds widespread adoption in geotechnical engineering
practice, particularly with respect to tailings storage facilities (TSFs). The laboratory …

Tailings storage facilities (TSFs) have undergone an unacceptably high failure rate for
decades, leading to an increased focus on improving the safety of these structures. One …

Dam B1 was approximately 85 m high and 700 m long along the crown when it suddenly
failed in 25th of January, after 41 years of operations and deposition of tailings at the …

This paper re-evaluates the Edenville earth dam that failed in 2020 after a rapid rise in
reservoir level caused by prolonged significant rainfall. The dam instability and possibility of …

The triaxial device remains, largely for good reason, the primary laboratory element test
used to characterise tailings. There are many aspects of tailings characterisation where the …

Every year mining operations worldwide generate a large amount of mineral residue in the
form of particles that are disposed of in large structures known as tailings dams. Repeated …

We thank the discussers for their interest in the work and their comments. First, the authors in
general agree with the discussers in their view that further work is necessary, and caution is …

The authors present a detailed and interesting study on the application of an advanced
critical state-based constitutive model to assess the potential for static liquefaction triggering …
