Geotechnical aspects connected to the management of marine dredging sludges and to the contaminated sites remediation

Geotechnical engineering plays a crucial role also in the management of marine dredging sludges and in contaminated sites remediation, with special reference to the characterization, design, operation and control phases. The conference will particularly highlight the design aspects and the most recent innovative methodologies and technologies connected to the management of marine dredging sludges and to the contaminated sites remediation issues.
