Overtopping dam break is a frequent accident in tailings reservoirs. However, little attention has been paid to the study of overtopping hydraulic erosion damage characteristics after adding reinforcement. Nowadays, there were few people have researched prediction failure process reinforced dam. It important significance establish model for which aims at problem tailings. For anti-erosion and a...

The paper presents a functionality investigation of the key dam elements based on finite element analysis. A detailed analysis filtration processes, strength, and surrounding rock mass was conducted. Dam whose potential damage could jeopardize normal functioning embankment have been identified. particular emphasis placed that identified as weak points. numerical impact individual grout curtain ...

Abstract Apart from flood control and water storage for irrigation, dams were used hydropower generation, navigation, drinking supply, recreation in mining operations as tailing dams. Human errors mistakes have undermined safety many dam operations, resulting serious issues numerous failures. Safety concerns also largely caused by increased population land use downstream areas failing to perfor...

The evolutions of practices of seismic slope stability analysis of earth embankment/dam are discussed in this paper. The basic concepts of various methods, salient features, advantages and limitations of each of them are elucidate. Methods for both stability analysis and deformation calculation are presented. Methods for calculation of deformation of post liquefaction stage are also briefed.
