Runout of liquefaction-induced tailings dam failure: Influence of earthquake motions and residual strength
Brent Sordo, Ellen Rathje, Krishna Kumar
This study utilizes a hybrid Finite Element Method (FEM) and Material Point Method (MPM) to investigate the runout of liquefaction-induced flow slide failures. The key inputs to th…
A hybrid Finite Element and Material Point Method for modeling liquefaction-induced tailings dam failures
Brent Sordo, Ellen Rathje, Krishna Kumar
This paper presents a hybrid Finite Element Method (FEM) and Material Point Method (MPM) approach for modeling liquefaction-induced tailings dam failures from initiation through ru…
Modeling liquefaction-induced runout of a tailings dam using a hybrid finite element and material point method approach
Brent Sordo, Ellen Rathje, Krishna Kumar
Tailings dams impound large amounts of saturated soil which can be highly susceptible to liquefaction. Liquefaction results in a severe loss of strength in the retained soil and po…
Hybrid Finite Element and Material Point Method to Simulate Granular Column Collapse from Failure Initiation to Runout
Brent Sordo, Ellen Rathje, Krishna Kumar
The performance evaluation of a potentially unstable slope involves two key components: the initiation of the slope failure and the post-failure runout. The Finite Element Method (…
