Construction methods for technical safety measures for the use of soils and building materials with environmentally relevant constituents in earthworks

Contact: Dr.-Ing. Emanuel Birle e.birle@tum.de

Background

  • Presentation of different construction methods with technical safety measures for the use of soils and building materials with environmentally relevant substances in earthworksin the leaflet TS E
  • Installation of soils and building materials with environmentally relevant constituents in earthworks on roads and railways

Goal

  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of various technical safety measures for the use of soils and building materials with environmentally relevant constituents in earthworks
  • Determination of the leachate quantities for the different construction methods (numerical calculations)
