Abstract
Typical mine tailings characteristics resulting from different deposition practices are discussed. The potential for liquefaction of the tailings during seismic events is presented. A discussion of how the tailings deposition method can affect the liquefaction potential is included. Tailings dam construction techniques are reviewed and evaluated with respect to the tailings deposition method and liquefaction potential. A case history is presented to illustrate how the tailings dam construction method must be coordinated with the method of tailings deposition.
