Description

Yihan Li and co-authors test how mine waste between fabric layers affects dam strength in a 2026 study. Some tailings dams stack bags of geotextile filled with waste rock. Waste that slips between layers can change how layers grip. Grip strength decides if the dam face holds or slides.

Direct shear tests varied water content and the amount of waste per area between layers. Peak shear strength and friction angle first rose, then fell as waste grew. A middle dose gave the peak, as grains locked into fabric pores and boosted grip. Cohesion moved the other way. A coupled model then judged what the lab pattern means for dam stability.
