What it is about

In this module you will learn geotechnical questions in environmental engineering, especially regarding water movement in saturated and unsaturated soils, landfill construction, mineral waste, remediation of contaminated sites, and the development of construction of opencast mine tailings. At the end you will be able to assess sealing systems and material suitability, evaluate recycling construction materials, and design and calculate procedures for remediation of contaminated sites and ground improvement.

What you will be able to do

  • Applying the fundamentals of water movement in saturated and unsaturated soils to boundary value problems
  • Assessing the function of sealing systems in landfill construction
  • Evaluating the suitability of different materials for sealing systems
  • Stating common legal framework conditions in the landfill construction sector
  • Evaluating possibilities for the use of recycling construction materials in earth and landfill construction
  • Assessing remediation procedures for contaminated sites
  • Stating special aspects in the construction of open-cast mine tailings and backfills
  • Assessing ground improvement procedures for open-cast mine tailings and backfills

What the module consists of

  • LecturesConveying theoretical foundations, practical examples and calculation tasks; materials are provided via Moodle

Teaching method

  • PowerPoint lectures supported by images/videosto convey theoretical foundations and to leverage the lecturer's experience
  • Calculation examples from practical task statementsto practice quantitative methods for water movement and planning of measures
  • Discussions and voluntary colloquiumto clarify questions and deepen the lecture material
  • Provision of materials as printouts and via Moodlefor preparation and review of the teaching content
