| 101-0302-00L | Clays in Geotechnics: Problems and Applications | 3 KP | 2G | M. Plötze | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | This course gives a comprehensive introduction in clay mineralogy, properties, characterising and testing methods as well as applied aspects and problems of clays and clay minerals in geotechnics. | ||||
| Lernziel | Upon successful completion of this course the student is able to: - Describe clay minerals and their fundamental properties - Describe/propose methods for characterisation of clays and clay minerals - Draw conclusion about specific properties of clays with a focus to their potential use, problematics and things to consider in geotechnics and engineering geology. | ||||
| Inhalt | - Introduction to clays and clay minerals (importance and application in geosciences, industry and everyday life) - Origin of clays (formation of clays and clay minerals, geological origin) - Clay mineral structure, classification and identification incl. methods for investigation (e.g., XRD) - Properties of clay materials, characterisation and quantification incl. methods for investigation (e.g., cation exchange, rheology, plasticity, shearing, swelling, permeability, retardation and diffusion) - Clay Minerals in geotechnics: Problems and applications (e.g. soil mechanics, barriers, slurry walls, tunnelling) | ||||
| Skript | Lecture slides and further documents will be provided. | ||||
