Conclusions
-
1.
In the case of a limited content of sand in tailings (<30%) hydraulic filling of a tailings dump with the formation of a sand beach of sufficient length is possible, provided that the maximum bulk density of the hydraulic mixture is not exceeded (not above≥70% sand deposition for the investigated tailings dumps).
-
2.
The results obtained are applicable under conditions similar to those which were investigated and can be used in the case of hydraulic filling of earth.
