TAILLIQ
Evaluating potential static liquefaction of tailings to prevent failures
TAILLIQ is a university-industry research project whose purpose is to help better understand and reduce the risk of mine tailings loss of containment from static liquefaction. The research is being carried out at four Australian universities, with funding providing by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and six international mining companies. This website has been developed to provide project updates and links to publications produced from the research.
PARTICIPATING UNIVERSITIES
