Glass fiber is a kind of polymer, which can effectively improve the mechanical properties of sand. However, the improvement effect of glass fibers with a reticular structure is different from that of ordinary fibers. At the same time, the sandy soil structure is diversified and part of the soil is layered, such as the lenticle in tailings dam, which often forms layered sandy soil with nearby tailings sand. The existence of the lenticle has adverse effects on the stability of the tailings dam. In order to study the reinforcement effects of reticular glass fibers on tailing sand with the lenticle (layered sand), a series of triaxial shear tests were carried out on the tailings sand by changing the layers of reticular glass fibers and the position of reinforcement. The results demonstrated the following five main points: (1) the shear strength of the tailings with the lenticle is significantly lower than the shear strength of the tailings fine sand, and the influence of the lenticle on the shear strength of the tailings is mainly concentrated on the cohesion. (2) When the reticular fiber is added to the tailings with the lenticle, the cohesion of the sample increases nonlinearly with the increase of the number of fiber layers, while the internal friction angle is basically unchanged. (3) The improvement effect of the reticular fiber on the shear strength of the sample varies with the position of the reinforcement, which is represented as the interface > tailings fine sand > lenticle. (4) Only when the axial strain develops to a certain extent, the reinforcement of the reticular fibers is reflected. (5) The reinforcement effects of reticulated fibers are determined by the interaction of forces at the interface between fibers and sand. The research results can not only provide a scientific basis for the construction of reinforced tailings dam, but also play a guiding role in disaster prevention and mitigation work of reinforced slopes with a weak zone, and even provide the reference for the reinforcement research of layered structures.

Mechanical properties of cemented reticulate red clay were studied in present research. Test results show that: (1) shear strength of cemented reticulate red clay increase exponentially as the increasing of cement content; (2) shear strength of cemented reticulate red clay decrease polynomially as the increasing of water content; (3) mechanical properties of cemented reticulate red clay affected significantly by curing time and curing confined pressure. In order to study viscous properties of cemented reticulate red clay, cemented reticulate red clay specimens were compressed in triaxial chamber at different shear rate. Results of the compression tests show that it is obvious that the axial strain-deviator stress relationship of cemented reticulate red clay affects by the strain rate.

The stability of tailings dam will be affected by the internal erosion under unsteady seepage caused by heavy rainfall infiltration which changes the physical and mechanical properties of tailings. In this paper, the hydraulic sedimentary model was established to investigate the effects of dry beach slope on the sedimentary characteristics of tailings in upstream tailings dam, and the results indicated that the dry beach with a larger slope has a more obvious stratification of tailings. Additionally, the sand column model was built to investigate the effects of internal erosion on the physical and mechanical properties of sedimentary tailings under unsteady seepage, and the results indicated that the migration of fine-grained tailings was caused by internal erosion increases the permeability and reduces the shear strength of the tailings. After internal erosion of tailings under heavy rainfall in 50 years return period for 24 h, the average particle size of downstream tailings (sample DT), midstream tailings (sample MT), and upstream tailings (sample UT) increased by 6.4%, 12.0%, and 2.4%, respectively, the hydraulic conductivity of the samples DT, MT, and UT increased by 27.2%, 17.9%, and 15.3%, respectively, and the shear strength of each samples decreased by 20.9%, 15.1%, and 12.4%, respectively.

In current engineering practice, the effect of strength anisotropy on stability analysis of tailings dam is often ignored. This paper presents direct shear test results on a tailing sand with different angles between shear direction and bedding plane. It is found that shear strength of this soil is significantly directional dependent. The variations in peak friction angle are about 11o, which is approximately 28.3% of the minimum value. The effect of strength anisotropy on stability of a tailings dam is also investigated. The analysis considering anisotropic strength shows a smaller factor of safety and shallower most critical slip surface as compared with isotropic strength model that is used in current engineering practice. To achieve more accurate stability analysis of tailings dams, it is suggested to take into account shear strength anisotropy of tailings soils.
