Abstrakt:

The Brumadinho tailings dam failure in 2019 has had a profound impact on the way tailings engineers analyse and interpret stability, with the focus of assessments moving away from conventional drained behaviour to consideration of undrained and post-liquefaction resistance. One of the contributing reasons is that the Expert Panel investigation of the failure concluded that, despite the drained factor of safety being adequate, the failure took place in an undrained manner. This paper examines the Brumadinho failure from a conventional drained perspective using two-dimensional limit equilibrium and finite difference modelling. Collectively, these analyses show that the failure can also be explained by a drained triggering mechanism and therefore suggest that several additional lessons may be learnt from the failure.
