What it covers
Geotechnical engineering concepts applied to solve or minimise geo-hazard problems specific to waste containment facilities, contaminated sites and redevelopment and construction on marginal land. The unit focuses on geotechnical aspects of ground improvement and the analysis, design and construction involved in projects located on marginal land. Learning through the failure case study to highlight potential pitfalls of the discipline is an important component of this unit.
