Influence of Stress State on the Expected Behavior of Filtered Iron Ore Tailings for Compacted Stacking Disposal

What is it about?

It is a research paper to investigate the influence of stress states on the geomechanical behavior of mining filtered tailings, besides highlights the importance of tailings density control to ensure the safety of tailings storage facilities (TSF). The study becomes interesting considering the recent large-scale accidents involving tailings dam failures and the increasing technology for tailings disposal by filtering and stacking.
