The slip surface mechanism of delayed failure of the Brumadinho tailings dam in 2019

F. Zhu, W. Zhang, et al.

Discover the delayed failure mechanism behind the catastrophic 2019 Brumadinho dam collapse. This pivotal study by Fangyuan Zhu, Wangcheng Zhang, and Alexander M. Puzrin uncovers how the growth of slip surfaces, influenced by construction practices and creep deformation, led to this tragic event. Learn about the key factors that will inform future risk assessments of decommissioned tailings dams.
