DOI: 10.1007/s10230-017-0468-y
Abstract: The stability of tailings dams is affected by seepage characteristics such as the location of the phreatic surface inside the dam, the effects of the capillary fringe, and the unsaturated zone above the zero pore… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-51449-6
Abstract: The freeze-thaw cycle is one of the important factors in inducing a dam-break in the permafrost region, so it is of great practical significance to study the mechanism of the failure deformation of tailings dams… read more here.
