Grainger College of Engineering Seminars & Speakers

Lectures and discussions on current work in research and development in nuclear engineering and related fields by staff, advanced students, and visiting speakers.

This webinar will discuss lessons from recent tailings dam failures that have had major consequences. These tailings dams were marginally stable before failure due to a combination of factors, such as, high phreatic surface, steep slope, fine-grained tailings, dynamic loadings, etc. 1.0 PDH
