91 Figure 2 – Typical SWCC chart (Fredlund et al., 2012) 3. METODOLOGY For this investigation, a typical geometry of a Filtered Tailings Deposit was considered. Figure 3 presents the main geometric assumptions of the facility, along with other considerations such as the construction timeline by layer (stacking plan). Figure 3 – Geometry for a filtered tailing deposit The main objective of this article is to demonstrate the importance of considering unsaturated behavior in this type of facility. For this purpose, two models were developed: one Non-Structural Zone Structural Zone Foundation Dam
