Geotechnical Analysis of Waste Storage Facilities
Course Description
This course discusses the geotechnical analyses required for the design, construction, and operation of waste storage facilities, with an emphasis on tailings storage facilities. Participants are provided with an understanding of the tools used by engineers to evaluate waste and tailings storage facilities. Topics covered in the course include: geotechnical modeling concepts, seepage analysis, limit equilibrium stability analysis, stress-deformation (finite-difference and finite-element) analysis, liquefaction analysis, dam break analysis, risk analysis, design considerations, and illustrative examples.
Course Structure
The course will be offered hybrid, with recorded, on-demand lectures combined with live panel sessions. There will be ten 60-min lectures that will be available on-demand to registrants three weeks prior to the live panels. All content (lectures and panels) will be available asynchronously for up to two weeks after the course ends.
