Join GeoStruktur’s Upcoming Live Masterclass: “Design and Performance of Mining Waste Cover Systems: Controlling Oxygen Diffusion and Ensuring Slope Stability Using PLAXIS.” This professional session focuses on practical approaches for designing mine waste cover systems to limit oxygen diffusion and reduce the risk of acid generation. Learn how to apply PLAXIS to assess key geotechnical performance factors, including slope stability, material behavior, and system resilience under varying site conditions.

Description

Mining waste facilities are one of geotechnical engineering's most demanding challenges — and cover system design is where many projects fall short. 🏔️

Oxygen diffusion during dry seasons. Slope instability under rainfall. Two failure mechanisms that are often analyzed separately — but rarely together.

That's exactly what this webinar addresses head-on.

📌 Webinar: Design and Performance of Mining Waste Cover Systems: Controlling Oxygen Diffusion and Ensuring Slope Stability Using PLAXIS

⏱ Duration: 2 Hours | Live Online

What you'll walk away with:

→ How to model unsaturated soil behaviour in PLAXIS

→ Simulating coupled hydraulic–mechanical responses

→ Soil-water characteristic curves & permeability functions

→ Transient seepage analysis for cover performance

→ Predicting failure mechanisms & optimising barrier design

→ Real case studies — not just theory

This is practical, hands-on content built for geotechnical engineers, environmental consultants, and mining professionals working with tailings and waste containment systems.
