Abstract
This paper presents the results of static and cyclic undrained triaxial testing on underflow (coarse fraction) tailing materials for a very high proposed tailing storage facility in seismically active southern Peru. The results of these tests, ranging in initial effective confining pressures from about 0.1 to 5.8 MPa, showed contractive but generally ductile behavior at higher initial effective confining pressures likely caused by grain breakage. These test results formed an important part of the design of the tailing storage facility.
