The workshops will cover the following topics:
1. Model inputs
- Selecting design parameters
- What has been missed in major tailings failures in the past? Causes (mechanisms) and triggers (why did failure occur when it did?)
2. Modelling methods
- Limit equilibrium or Numerical – Advantages and disadvantages, and how to handle complex geometries and ground conditions
- Limit equilibrium modelling considerations using Slide2 and Slide3 software
- Finite element modelling considerations using RS2 and RS3 software
