WORKSHOP: ACG-ANCOLD Design of Tailings Storage Facilities for Seismic Loading Conditions: Operational and Long Term (Post Closure) Considerations Workshop

The “Design of tailings storage facilities for seismic loading conditions: operational and long term considerations” workshop is being held in collaboration with the Australian Centre for Geomechanics (ACG). This will be a full day workshop and will include presentations from experienced industry practitioners. Topics covered in the workshop will include: status and review of the ANCOLD Guidelines on Design of Dams for Earthquake; selection of the design earthquake; liquefaction assessment of the tailings; analysis and design of dams for earthquakes; and dam break analysis, including discussion of historical dam failures. The workshop is aimed to provide education to both tailings storage facility owners and designers. Applicable case studies and examples will be discussed. Selected workshop notes and presentation slides will be provided to the attendees.
