This video clip shows Year 2 Civil Engineering @ University of Limerick students undertaking a site investigation as part of a geotechnical study. The Problem Based Learning (PBL) project involves the design of an earthen dam that could be used to store water or hold back flood-waters. The work involves the assessment of on-site soils for use in the construction of an impermeable dam and the analysis and design of the dam and supporting ground. The design is verified by construction and testing of a trial embankment on the site. Visit www.ul.ie/civileng for more information on our course.
