There is a need to define mine tailings in a clear, precise, multidisciplinary, transdisciplinary,
and holistic manner, considering not only geotechnical and hydraulic concepts but also …

In Peru, socio-environmental conflicts related to the development of mining-metallurgical
processes and the responsible disposal of mine tailings have become central issues for …

Tailings ponds are one of the three major production facilities in metal mines. The volume of
tailings increases year by year, but the storage capacity of existing tailings ponds is limited …

Considering the global impact on society due to tailings storage facilities (TSFs) accidents,
this article describes a study to monitor mine tailings management and prevent mining …

Mine tailings dams are surface impoundment structures consisting of raised embankments
that are built to contain mine tailings and mill effluents. In the past, many failures of these …

Communities and authorities have been dismayed by globally recorded tailings storage
facility (TSF) failures in recent years, which have negatively affected the safety of people and …

In the next decades many of the old tailings storage facilities (TSFs) could be re-processed if
one considers the prices of metals, new uses of metals which today are not valuable, and …

The generalized plasticity theory has evolved in the last decades and attracts the attention of
different research groups, because of characteristics like the absence of an explicit flow …

The dry stacking of tailings, rather than the slurry disposal, is an alternative to overcome the
safety-related issues of the tailings dams and to reduce the space required for the tailings' …

This study presents a novel formulation for incorporating anisotropy into the generalized
plasticity constitutive model. Generalized plasticity is a hierarchical framework allowing for …
