Select results: the deformation back-analysis of the failure of the Mount Polley TSF embankment

Description: This dataset includes select result files containing the simulation results from the back-analysis of the 4 August 2014 failure at the Mount Polley Tailings Storage Facility in British Columbia, Canada. The result files were generated by the simulation whose equivalence to prototype behaviour was amply demonstrated. A number of results for alternative scenarios are also included as described in the README file.
