... al., 2001), yet this partial saturation has not been addressed in the CPT correlations used. These differences make interpreting CPTs in tailings somewhat unreliable and hinder ongoing efforts to reduce the number of TSF failures. Additional correlations, relevant to the unsaturated tailings...
