Dynamic Stability of the Tailings Dam under High Intensity Seism...

Based on one selected tailings dam, two types seepage in the tailings dam which are saturated seepage and saturated - unsaturated seepage were described and solved by Darcy';s law and Richards equation. Then the nonlinear dynamic finite element equation coupled with seepage and consolidation of tailings dam under high intensity seismic load was established by using the structural dynamics, fluid ftructure interaction theory and Biot consolidation theory. And the nonlinear dynamic finite elem
