Abstract

A method for simulating a dam break process caused by seepage failure of a tailing pond dam body comprises the steps that firstly, two-dimensional seepage stability analysis is conducted on a tailingdam according to dam body material mechanics parameters, upstream and downstream water levels and other information, and the position of a seepage channel is preliminarily planned; constructing a tailing dam seepage failure breach development numerical model, simulating a seepage failure breach development process and determining a critical condition of seepage channel collapse; and finally, simulating the overtopping outburst process after collapse of the permeation channel by utilizing fluid mechanics analysis software, so as to realize dynamic simulation of the permeation failure process ofthe whole tailing pond dam body. The method has the advantages of being high in pertinence, low in cost, easy to operate, good in result visualization and the like; by means of the method, the specific situation of dam break downstream disaster caused by seepage failure of the tailing pond dam body can be obtained, a basis is provided for government decision departments and related design units to scientifically and reasonably formulate tailing pond burst emergency plans and rescue and remedial measures, and therefore losses caused by tailing pond burst are reduced, and accident risks are reduced.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for simulating the dam break process of a tailings pond, in particular to a method for simulating the dam break process caused by the seepage damage of the dam body of the tailings pond. Background technique

[0002] The tailings pond is a special place used in mining engineering to store the tailings discharged from the concentrator. Since the tailings contain various chemical agents and various heavy metal components remaining during mineral processing, once the tailings pond breaks, it will inevitably become a major source of environmental pollution, posing a huge threat to the safety of life and property of downstream residents and the ecological environment.

[0003] The tailings dam is one of the key structures of the tailings pond. It is composed of the initial dam and the accumulation dam, and its function is to block and deposit the tailings in the tailings pond. Due to the special function of the tailings da...

Embodiment Construction

[0027] Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention will be further described.

[0028] 1. Obtain basic data: the basic data include material mechanical parameters such as bulk density, cohesion, internal friction angle and permeability coefficient of tailings dam dam construction materials; hydrological data of tailings pond; dam height, dam crest width, dam Slope gradient, etc.; topographic data (topographic map or DEM data elevation model file) of the tailings pond and the downstream three kilometers.

[0029] 2. Two-dimensional seepage analysis of tailings dam: such as figure 2 As shown, the two-dimensional seepage stability analysis model of the tailings dam was established in the geotechnical engineering analysis software SEEP / W according to the profile of the tailings dam, the mechanical parameters of the dam body materials, and the upstream and downstream water levels, and the seepage line of the tailings dam was obtained through analysis and ...
