Environmental Geotechnics MOD002423
Coursework: Case Studies
Objective
To learn from specific events relating to Environmental Geotechnics through the production of a short report in the form of a case study of two of the following incidents:
The student will write two case studies (1000 words each) on two of the following incidents or projects:
1. Loscoe landfill gas explosion (UK)
2. The Stava tailings dam collapse (Italy)
3. The Aberfan tip failure (Wales)
The case studies will contain a clear diagnostic from a geotechnical point of view of what went wrong, how the incident could have been avoided and what lessons were learnt.
Assessment
The case studies should be presented as a document with a title page. Each case study should be presented in a formal style with numbered sections and should contain:
· Not more than approximately 1000 words of text per case study.
· Illustrations which are directly relevant to the report and the content of which is explained or referred in the text.
· References within the text to sources of information and a complete list of all information sources consulted and used (Harvard referencing system).
Text should not be presented as a collection of bullet points but a narrative which makes correct use of paragraphs and sections. You are encouraged to create your own diagrams, tables and figures to avoid excessive cutting and pasting.
