This guide addresses the technical fields in geoenvironmental engineering. Aspects detailed include the design and analysis of waste contaminants; facilities incorporating wastes as construction materials, including fly ash and shredded tyres; surface/groundwater control and drainage systems; risk assessment; remediation; geomaterial interactions; and radioactive waste vaults. This text accommodates researchers and specialists in various disciplines, including soil science, biological science, physics, materials science, computer science, mathematics, mechanical engineering and industrial engineering.
Features of the work include: an outline of the characterization of fluid flow properties of rock masses, including tomography, fractals and dye tracing; profiles of contaminant migration modelling; assessment of the response to rock terrains hosting hazardous or radioactive waste containment systems; analysis of physico-chemical interactions between contaminants and fracture surfaces of rocks; reports of innovative and suitable excavation techniques that minimize fracturing of country rocks; and evaluation of the risk of hazardous event occurrence at disposal sites and the linkage of this risk to human and ecosystem health.
