Efficiently determine the storage volume of a tailings dam or storage facility (TSF) using our free online calculator. This tool helps engineers, miners, and environmental managers plan for safe mine waste management by calculating capacity based on key dimensions.
Formula:
V = (H / 3) * (Atop + Abottom + √ (Atop × Abottom))
where:
- V = Tailings Dam Capacity (Volume)
- H = Dam Height
- Atop = Area of the Top Surface (Top Length × Top Width)
- Abottom = Area of the Bottom Surface (Bottom Length × Bottom Width)
