Mine tailing containment dams are earthen embankments built to collect mining waste, which contains large percentages of water. These dams are partially permeable to water and subject to instabilities that are difficult to predict, which have often led to serious accidents in the past.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”4803″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1703772967700{margin-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #042d4c !important;}” el_class=”column_details_portfolio”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The use of muon absorption radiography could instead detect changes in density in the dam body due to the increase in the amount of water in the interstices. Through the MuDam detector and its 3D analysis and reconstruction software, it would therefore be possible to carry out continuous monitoring of the dams and prevent catastrophic failure events.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”51px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
