SUMMARY:Uncertainty and sustainability in geo-engineering. - Prof Dr Frans

CONTACT:Zelda Stuck
DESCRIPTION:After a look to the start of soil mechanics and some important
  historic benchmarks\, a view about the characteristics uncertainties in g
 eotechnical engineering is presented. How good we are? For the present-day
  popular topic of heat transport and storage in soil\, serious limitations
  of standard simulation techniques is outlined\, as an example. Some sugge
 stions are provided how in the context of a modern critical society to coo
 p with the typical aspects of soils and its engineering. How long we shall
  last?\n\n
