Abstract: In recent years, some tailings pond serious accidents have occurred now and then in China, and lead to serious threat or damage to the people's lives or property. So the geotechnical engineering issues with tailings embankment is the key of tailings pond's stability analysis and evaluation for tailings pond's safe operation, reduce the occurrence of serious accidents. This paper explores the application of geotechnical engineering issues' technology in tailings embankment, and the conclusion could serve as reference for engineering issues with tailings embankment.
