ContentsDESIGN OF COMPUTER HYDRO-MECHANICAL MODEL FOR TAILINGS EMBANKMENT DAM Anatoly Kalashnik PhD (Eng.), head of laboratory, Mining Institute KSC RAS, Apatity, Russia; e-mail: kalashnik@goi.kolasc.net.ru Abstract. A hydro-mechanical 3D model has been designed for a tailings embankment dam, which distinguishing property is a principle of integrating geological-geometric, geomechanical and hydrogeological conditions. This allows both geomechanical and hydraulic calculations and a dam stability assessment. The model research results through the case study of a large tailing at the Kola region have been verified by the data of complex in-situ observations and monthly monitoring. Keywords: dam, tailing, hydro-mechanical model.
