Numerical Analyses of Earthquake Induced Liquefaction and Deformation Behaviour of an Upstream Tailings Dam

Figure 1

Observed earthquakes from year 1398 and onwards from the joint Nordic catalogue at Helsinki University FENCAT (2011) and from 2000–2011 by the Swedish National Seismic Network (SNSN) at Uppsala University (e.g., [2]). The location of the Aitik tailings dam is indicated by the circle. Red dots show the epicentral location of the earthquakes. Blue rectangles show the location of permanent Swedish seismic stations. Postglacial faults are highlighted by numbers: () the Pärvie fault, () the Merasjärvi fault, () the Lainio-Suijavaara fault, (4) the Stuoragurra fault, (5) the Suasselka fault, (6) the Pasmajärvi/Venejärvi fault, (7) the Lansjärv fault, and (8) the Burträsk fault.
