DESCRIPTION |
| Advances in probabilistic slope stability analysis and coupled climatic F.E. modeling |
One day |
This course covers advances in both the theoretical and practical application of probability theory to slope stability and seepage geotechnical problems. Case studies will also be examined which illustrate the complexity of back-analysis of classic slides such as the Lodalen slide by both 2D and 3D slope stability numerical methods. Application of statistical principles to seepage analysis will also be covered. |
| Slope stability and seepage modeling of mine tailings and waste rock |
One day |
This course covers advances in both the theoretical and practical application of probability theory to slope stability and seepage geotechnical problems. Special focus will be paid to creating numerical models of tailings and waste rock facilities. Case studies will also be examined which illustrate the complexity of back-analysis of classic slides such as the Lodalen slide by both 2D and 3D slope stability numerical methods. Application of statistical principles to seepage analysis will also be covered. |
| New Numerical Modeling Aspects of the Long-Term Modeling of Mine Tailings and Waste Rock |
One day |
Numerical modeling has established itself as a useful tool both in the operations as well as closure of mining facilities. Such numerical models are part of the design of tailings facilities as well as the predictions of their long-term performance. Special attention will be placed on setting up of coupled thermal and flow models such that the aspects of modeling in a northern climate can be examined. The modeling of 3D aspects of tailings water balance models will be discussed in detail.
Slope stability topics will focus on climatic influences of slope stability and their modeling. Several methodologies and their application will be presented. A methodology for optimizing tailings dam designs through the batch run of many slope stability models will be examined.
The course is focused on the concepts of acceptable methodologies for consultants, regulators, and mining companies for the setting up and completion of numerical models. The concepts presented are independent of specific software packages. The focus will be on acceptable methodologies and model interpretation. |
