The researchers analyzed the impact of mining tailings on a tailings dam. They used computer simulations to study the stability of the dam when mining activities are near. The results suggest that mining tailings close to the dam could lead to its top failure. Based on these findings, recommendations were made for safer tailings mining practices.
