Modelación de escenarios de seguridad para presas de colas.

Modeling safety scenarios for dams strengthens effectiveness of disaster risk management plans in this kind of work by reducing risk of failures that can cause considerable damage. The aim of the present paper was a proposal of a modeling methodology for safety scenarios in tailing dams from the Cuban nickel industry, to determine indicators and failure mechanisms, in order to achieve early detection risks and their reduction, as well as to minimize the negative impacts on the economy, the population, and the environment through a risk and disaster management plan.
