Abstract

In light of the engineering characteristics of fine-grained tailings, such as their high moisture content, high compressibility, difficult deposition, and difficult consolidation, and based on the summary and analysis of the experience of tailing dam construction in China and abroad, a new comprehensive treatment technology suitable for dam construction on a weak beach, which is composed of strengthening foundation with the soilbag, subdam stabilization, and collaborative drainage, is proposed. Taking a dam construction project on the weak beach of a tailing pond in China as the research object and through the study of the reinforcement mechanism of the soft beach treated using the soilbag method, it can be seen that the soilbag body has the mechanism of strength growth by sand fixation and water permeability and constraint formation and can achieve an overall stable effect of extrusion and silt replacement, stacking and surcharge, and flexible embedding in a weak beach. Using this method, combined with relevant monitoring technology, a good demonstration of dam construction speed of up to 30 m/a and a safe dam construction height of up to 60 m on a weak beach surface is achieved in a tailing dam construction project, which provides a good reference for the design and construction of fine tailing dam engineering and the cooperative disposal of adverse geological conditions.
