ISSMGE launched the TC221 on Tailings and Mine Waste in March 2020 with the aim of providing a platform to discuss, exchange, and disseminate scientific advances, expert knowledge, and practical know-how in geotechnical engineering issues associated with the storage of waste materials generated by mining processes. Tailings dams are among the largest and most complex modern earth structures. The occurrence of catastrophic failures in the past have shown the enormous risk to people and the environment and, for this reason, demand the greatest technical expertise and the best level of geotechnical engineering available. In this context, this Special Session on Tailings Dams should contribute towards a sustainable development of the extractive industry.
Engage in the conversation with Arcesio and other guest speakers to contribute to this important dialogue.
Date: Friday, November 15, 14:00 - 15:30, TC221 Special Session
