Webinar on the importance of dam failure analysis as a tool to determine the possible impacts on the environment, infrastructure and population in the event of a potential dam collapse; and how, based on the results of the dam failure analysis, design criteria for tailings storage can be defined, emergency and contingency plans developed, risk analysis, among others. In the last decade, we have witnessed the collapse of at least 3 tailings dams, which have caused a significant impact on the environment, and in some cases have caused the loss of life of many people. That is why the analysis of a dam failure is an important tool to determine the possible impacts to the environment, infrastructure and the population in the event of a potential dam collapse. Based on the results of the dam failure analysis, design criteria for tailings storage can be defined, emergency and contingency plans developed, risk analysis, among others. We share the topics that we will discuss: – Generalities – Simulation model – Volume released – Discharge hydrograph – Rheology of the tailings – Flow simulation – Study cases
