Abstract

In recent years, with the increasing frequency of mining activities and the improvement of environmental protection awareness, the stable operation of tailings dams and surrounding environmental protection issues have received widespread attention from all sectors of society. As an indispensable part of mining activities, the safety and stability of tailings dams are directly related to the ecological safety of mining areas and the safety of the lives and property of surrounding residents. The stability of tailings dams is not a one-time solution, as they still face challenges from various natural factors, the most prominent of which are seepage and seismic effects. Especially when the tailings dam has undergone initial seepage, its internal structure may have undergone certain changes, and at this time, its stability will face even more severe challenges under the influence of earthquake action. Based on this background, this article provides an in-depth analysis of the seismic stability of tailings dams with initial seepage fields under earthquake action. Through simulation experiments and theoretical analysis, this article explores the influence of various factors on the stability of tailings dams, and proposes corresponding optimization measures and suggestions, providing important theoretical support and practical guidance for the safety management of tailings dams.
