Germany: Rostock to Host South Baltic Conference on Dredged Materials

The South Baltic Conference on Dredged Materials in Dike Construction will take place in Rostock / Hohe Düne, 10-11 April 2014.

The conference is organised in the frame of the project DredgDikes in which the application of dredged materials in dike construction is investigated. There are a variety of research groups dealing with this topic as well as the general applicability of fine-grained organic dredged materials or composite materials in geotechnical engineering.

Also, geosynthetics solutions to solve some of the problems connected to the use of fine-grained organic dredged materials in dike constructions will be reviewed.

Topics

– Geochemical and geotechnical characterisation of dredged materials and composite materials containning dredged materials;

– Legal background for the beneficial use of dredged materials in geotechnical applications;

– Utilisation of fine-grained organic dredged materials in geotechnical applications;

– Utilisation of composite materials containing dredged materials in geotechnical applications;

– Geosynthetics solutions to improve dredged materials to be used in geotechnical applications;

– Special aspects and case studies for the use of dredged materials in dike construction.
