Abstract [en]

This paper presents a case study where numerical modeling, with the finite element method, has been utilized to assess future stability of a tailings dam in Northern Sweden. The finite element software PLAXIS was utilized to simulate future dike raisings for the years 2024 to 2034. The simulations were conducted by computing each dike raising, the subsequent consolidation of the soil and the stability of the dam during the process. The factors of safety directly after each dike raising resulted in values continuously below a recommended value of 1.5. To increase the dam stability, rockfill berms were stepwise added on the downstream slope of the dam. An optimization technique was applied to place as small volumes of rockfill as possible in the berms at the most suitable locations on the downstream slope. By adding various volumes of rockfill in the berms each year, sufficient stability of the dam was obtained in the simulations. The excess pore water pressures increased annually in the simulations. It was shown that the excess pore water pressures did not totally dissipate before the following dike was constructed. The highest excess pore water pressures were located deep in the impoundment and did not have large effects on the dam stability.
