Abstract
Abstract In this paper, a qualitative safety analysis of the Żelazny Most tailings pond is addressed. This object is one of the largest facilities of this type in the world being a crucial element in the technological line of copper production in KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. The assessment of the effectiveness of two types of preventive measures, i.e., relief wells and loading berms, is investigated based on displacement and stability analysis of two 2D cross-sections in a technical section of the dam. The study shows that the considered preventive measures generally have a positive impact on increasing the safety level of the structure during its further raise. In particular, their effectiveness is most evident when they are applied simultaneously. It is eventually suggested that the selection of final solutions to be applied on the facility should be based on the quantitative 3D analysis.
摘要本文对埃拉兹尼Most尾矿库进行了定性安全分析。该目标是世界上最大的此类设施之一,是KGHM Polska Mied Roz美国铜生产技术线的关键要素,基于大坝技术断面中两个二维断面的位移和稳定性分析进行了研究。研究表明,在结构的进一步提升过程中,所考虑的预防措施通常对提高结构的安全水平具有积极影响。特别是,当它们同时应用时,它们的有效性最为明显。最终建议,应用于设施的最终解决方案的选择应基于定量3D分析。
期刊介绍:
An international journal ‘Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica’ covers new developments in the broad areas of geomechanics as well as structural mechanics. The journal welcomes contributions dealing with original theoretical, numerical as well as experimental work. The following topics are of special interest: Constitutive relations for geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete, etc.) Modeling of mechanical behaviour of heterogeneous materials at different scales Analysis of coupled thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical problems Modeling of instabilities and localized deformation Experimental investigations of material properties at different scales Numerical algorithms: formulation and performance Application of numerical techniques to analysis of problems involving foundations, underground structures, slopes and embankment Risk and reliability analysis Analysis of concrete and masonry structures Modeling of case histories
