Simulation of tailings release in dam break scenarios using physical models

Abstract This article presents an experimental study performed to evaluate the volume of material released from the reservoir during a tailings dam failure event using models. To verify the influence of the parameters related to the breach geometry and the undrained shear strength (Su) in a failure...
