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
