Abstract: The seepage field is one of the important factors that affect the safety and stability of tailings dams. This paper presents the numerical tailing dam stability analysis results. The seepage analysis considers the site specific subsurface conditions under normal flood and design highest flood conditions. The resultant phreatic lines and seepage gradient are obtained. It is concluded that under two different flood levels, the seepage fields of the tailing dam are similar.

Key words: Tailing Dams, Seepage Fields, Seepage Gradient, Phreatic Lines
