Estimating the Cyclic and Post-Earthquake Behavior of Coal Mine Tailings at a Site in Eastern Kentucky

Seismic stability of coal tailings dams with spatially variable and liquefiable coal tailings using pore pressure plasticity models

“…The undrained shear strength of tailings and similar soils such as silty alluvial soils reported in the literature (e.g. Castro, 2003, Hegazy et al, 2004, Idriss and Boulanger, 2008, Kalinski and Salehian, 2016, Ladd and Foott, 1974, Olson and Stark, 2002, Phoon et al, 1995, Phoon and Kulhawy, 1999, Robertson, 2009, Salam et al, 2019, Yu et al, 2019 were used to establish the probability distribution for s u,cs,eq _ Rat .…”
