Study of the Effect of Drying and Wetting Cycles and Water Content on the Shear Characteristics of Tailing Sands

The mechanical characteristics of tailing sands have an important impact on the safety and stability of the tailing dams. Fully understanding the effect of drying and wetting cycles (DWC) and water content on the characteristics of tailing sands is urgently needed. In this study, direct shear tests...
