Bauxite Residue Dry Stacking — 2D Filter-Cake Stability Lab

A 2D cross-section of a red-mud dry stack: filtration pressure sets the cake's starting moisture, layers dry and gain shear strength over time, and the pile's own angle of repose decides when it stays stable or risks slumping.

Filtration pressure sets how much moisture leaves the red-mud cake before it ever reaches the stack; drier cake holds a steeper angle of repose and carries more shear strength, so watch how pushing pressure up (or drying the surface with more ambient sun/wind) turns a shallow, wet pile into a tall, stable one — and how a thick, wet layer can tip the stack into "Risk of slump."

⚙ Under the hood

Cake moisture follows an exponential fall with filtration pressure; the pile's angle of repose and undrained shear strength both fall as moisture rises, and a simple infinite-slope check compares strength against the load implied by the current height and angle.
