CIV3248 不是普通土力学计算课,而是把地下水、渗流控制、污染迁移和工程围护系统放进同一门环境岩土课程。Monash 官方说明明确写到课程会处理 groundwater resources、seepage、contaminant migration through porous media、waste containment facilities 以及 engineered soil barriers 和 geosynthetics 的设计问题;学生既要理解土体行为,也要能用 analytical 和 numerical procedures 解 geoenvironmental design problems。
The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
Characterise contaminant migration through porous media.
Provide solutions to seepage problems based on the use of geosynthetics.
Use numerical and analytical procedures to analyse a geoenvironmental design problem.
Explain the advantages and limitations of the different methods of seepage calculation.
Identify the common situations when the soil becomes a factor in an engineering problem.
Give an engineering classification of soils, and on this basis predict how it will perform as an engineering lining material for waste containment facilities.
Calculate quantities of water flowing through the ground, and understand the effects that water flow has on the soil.
