Static Liquefaction Workshop

This two-day workshop aims to provide demonstrations of the static liquefaction failure mechanisms (and triggering process) as it relates to tailings, and the tools used to assess the potential for this behavior.

This will be achieved through explanation on the use and interpretation of the cone penetration test (CPT), the key tool to assessing strength and liquefaction susceptibility. Theoretical discussions will be alternated with examples from various tailings failure case histories to highlight the relevance of the concepts and the meaning of the results.

Targeted Audience:   Mining and tailings consultants, operators of tailings storage facilities, as well as regulators will find this workshop of interest.

 Eligible to earn 1.5 CEUs and 15 PDHs
