Abstract A mine waste deposit known as a tailings dam recently failed in the town of Jagersfontein, South Africa. The failure occurred amidst global concern about the safety record of these structures. Herein we use public remotely sensed data to gai

The assessment of liquefaction vulnerability is crucial to understanding the potential consequences of a tailings dam failure. The “Plewes method” is a relatively well-known and simple screening method to assess liquefaction potential based on re

The probability of failure of tailing dams and associated risks demand improvements in engineering practice. The critical state line provides a robust framework for the characterization of mine tailings. New experimental data for nonplastic platinum

The compressive behavior of soils at stresses high enough to induce particle breakage is relevant to several geotechnical applications. At these high stresses, compression curves become ind...

The significant amount of laboratory testing required to determine the steady-state line (SSL) of soils has led to an interest in understanding how the SSL correlates with simpler soil index properties. Correlations proposed so far for non-plastic so

Tailings facility failures represent a significant risk to the environment and communities globally, but until now little data was available on the global distribution of risks and characteristics of facilities to ensure proper governance. We conduct

The steady state line (SSL) plays a key role in understanding and modelling the mechanical response of soils. Accordingly, understanding how the SSL correlates to soil index properties is of primary importance. A previous study reported that the vert
