Evaluating the performance of three sensor types for long-term measurement of suctions in gold tailings [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
A key aspect of the stability of a tailings dam is the pore pressure regime within the dam. Although gold tailings can exist in an unsaturated state in the field, the measurement of negative pore pressures (matric suctions) in active gold tailings dams ...
