Abstract: Tailings dams are among the largest man-made structures on earth and require a rigorous understanding and application of geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics principles. Effective tailings management is essential for minimizing environmental impact and ensuring the safety of surrounding communities while meeting the needs of society's resource demands. Tailings engineering is a key aspect of mining operations, focusing on the safe and efficient management of the byproducts produced during resource extraction. The geotechnical challenges in this field are multifaceted and include issues related to the feasibility, design, construction, operation, and closure of tailings storage facilities (TSFs).
