An Advanced Tool for Evaluating the Probability of Failure of Existing Tailings Dams: A Scientific Approach Supporting the Prioritisation of Mitigating Measures and Minimise Risk within the 'As Low As Reasonably Practicable' Principle

The frequent occurrence of catastrophic tailings dam failures underscores the urgent need to improve safety practices and minimise associated risks. This study introduces an advanced tool to evaluate the total Probability of Failure (PoF) of existing tailings dams systematically and effectively, supporting the rational prioritisation of...
