This two-day workshop aims to provide demonstrations of the static
liquefaction failure mechanism (and triggering process) as it relates to
tailings, and the tools used to assess the potential for this behaviour.
This will be achieved through explanation on the use and interpretation
of the cone penetration test (CPT); the key tool to assessing the
strength and liquefaction susceptibility, and carrying out a static
liquefaction laboratory test as a live  demonstration during the
workshop. Theoretical discussions will be alternated with examples from
various tailings failure case histories, to highlight the relevance of
the concepts and the meaning of the results. Mining and tailings
consultants, operators of tailings storage facilities, and regulators
will find this workshop of interest.

Workshop contents include: • Fundamentals and theory of cone
penetration testing (CPT) • Interpretation of the CPT results •
Static liquefaction, fundamentals and examples • Demonstration of the
static liquefaction mechanism • Procedures and considerations for
tailings laboratory testing • Explanation and discussion of a number
of static liquefaction case histories
