Grundwassermanagement und nachhaltige Materialverwendung in der Geotechnik

What it is about

In this module you will learn the fundamentals and practical applications of groundwater management in soils and rocks as well as the sustainable use of mineral materials in soil improvement. By the end you will be able to analyze groundwater movements, design dewatering measures, and apply methods for handling industrial by-products and challenging soils.

What you will be able to do

• solve geotechnical groundwater problems
• minimize the effects of construction measures on groundwater
• design dewatering measures
• assess hydraulic failure mechanisms
• apply handling of industrial by-products and RC materials
• plan mass movements in earthworks
• develop concepts for difficult soils in earthworks
• understand and analyze the significance and failure mechanisms of tailings
