Excess pore water pressure induced during tailings run-out
By M A. Llano-Serna, D J. Williams, L Bu
Tailings dam failures continue to occur worldwide at an unacceptable rate, averaging two events annually over the last 100 years. Furthermore, tailings dams continue to grow in size, increasing the po

Assessing the volume change behaviour of red mud through laboratory and field testing
By D J. Williams, A Shokouhi, A Naderian
Extracting alumina from bauxite involves the production of fine-grained waste known as red mud. The highly alkaline red mud is usually neutralised by applying sea water, thickened to between 25% and 3

Recent advances in tailings testing methods
By D J. Williams
The majority of surface tailings storage facilities continue to employ sub-aerial tailings slurry deposition. Surface TSFs are typically sized and operated in a way to minimise the initial capital cos

Lessons learnt in geotechnical investigation and stability analysis for upstream tailings storage facility raise design
By C Armstrong, B Wentzinger
Upstream embankment raises often represent the lowest cost option for increasing the capacity of tailings storage facilities (TSF), but also pose the highest stability risk due to constructing on top

Tailings governance
By T Alexieva
Since the early 1900s the geotechnical community has investigated every significant failure of a tailings dam, improved our knowledge of the behaviour of the tailings storage facilities, developed ana

Risk-based approach for minimising tailings dam failures
By M Barker, H Li
The total number of tailings accidents has reduced from over 50/decade in the 1960s-1980s to less than 30/decade in the 2000s to 2010s. However, the rate of significant tailings dam failures has not

Liquefaction behaviour of tailings under cyclic simple shear testing
By A Li, H Jinto, M Laxman
The behaviour of tailings under cyclic loading has an impact on the stability and deformation of tailings dams and a good understanding of the cyclic behaviour of the tailings under earthquakes is imp

Spontaneous combustion hazard assessment of McArthur River Mine waste rock
By P Marianelli, J Theiler, B Beamish, A Spillman
The presence of reactive pyrite in waste rock contributes to the hazard of spontaneous combustion in emplacement facilities as it acts as an initiator of self-heating at low ambient temperatures. Orga

The importance of rate of rise in life-of-mine planning of an upstream raised tailings storage facility – a case study
By D A. Williams, P J. Chapman
The acceptable rate of rise of the tailings beaches on upstream-raised tailings storage facilities (TSFs) is critical to life of mine planning. This is illustrated through a case study in Western Aus

Improving the dewatering efficiency of clay-rich tailings in saline water
By D Liu, M Edraki, L Berry
The presence of clay minerals slows down the settling rate and mitigates compact consolidation efficiency in tailings dewatering. The increasing use of saline water in many plants, affects the dewater

Shear strength of compacted clay liner at McArthur River Mine
By Y Xu, J Hacker, D J. Williams
Shear strength parameters of compacted clay liners are needed to analyse the stability of mine waste dumps containing compacted clay liners as sealing layers for potentially acid forming waste rock. A

Linking safety factor to probability of failure
By S M. Gover
Estimating the probability of failure for embankments is not intuitive. It requires not only an appreciation of the strength of the embankment, but an understanding of the variability and uncertainty
