head supports were provided to prevent intrusion of hydraulic fill materials into the mi1%e drifts. Instrumentation was installed through several of these bulkheads to m e a d e horizontal stresses on the bulkheads and p~re-water pressures at several points in the fill.

SOC .MIN.ENGR.AIME, V2~6, 4,DEC .1974,P265-272 • The material in the dam was idealized as a two-ls~vered system with the phreatic surface delineating the boundary between the layers. The effect of variation in height of the bern was examined fc~ tailirg~ dsm, with three different, cc~aonly occ~rrlng slopes. The stresses and displ~emez~ts were obtair~d usir~ the finlte element method. The stresses obtained in the finite elemer~ analyses were used in conventional slope stability analyses assigning circular f a i l u r e surfaces. The rem~Its of the study show that the use of retainlr~wall-suplx~edberm is an effective means of improving the stability of a tailings dam. This increased stability is greater for dams with steeper slopes, In addition~ the increase in factor Of safety is particularly notable for berm heights less than 25% of the height of the dam.
