Title: The Role of Environmental Geotechnics in Building Earth Dike Made from Side Energy Products
Abstract: Brownfields are nowadays frequently being used for storing side energy products from the rear fuel cycle at classic power plants. These products are deposited in liquid form by pipeline need a certain space bounded by an earth dike. The use of traditional soil in the dike can be costly and therefore the construction of dikes from local material—coal slag—is proposed. The earth dike was built on the sediments in former sludge lagoon. Shortly after the first flooding of slag there was a breach of the dike. Geotechnical solution followed the incident: field tests were carried out and laboratory analyzes were performed. Mathematical analysis based on the results from field and laboratory tests was simulated. The numerical calculations were used to determine the most probable causes of the breach and the proposed solution—redevelopment of the dike.
