Tailing storage facilities are very complex structures whose failure generally leads to catastrophic consequences in terms of casualties, serious environmental impacts on local biodiversity, and disruptions in the mineral supply. For this reason, structures at risk must be reinforced or decommissioned. One possible option is its reinforcement with compacted filtered tailings stabilized with binders. Alkali-acti...
The accurate estimation of earthquake-induced liquefaction damage requires detailed ground response analysis, which does not generally consider liquefaction. This paper presents a well-documented pilot site where different approaches to estimate surface ground motion were compared. A simplified stress-based method and non-linear dynamic effective stress numerical analyses were used to identify liquefaction. HVS...
