Stabilisation/Solidification Treatment and Remediation Proceedings of the International Conference on Stabilisation/Solidification Treatment and Remediation, 12-13 April 2005, Cambridge, UK
Stabilisation/Solidification Treatment and Remediation - Advances in S/S for Waste and Contaminated Land contains 39 papers, summaries of the four keynote lectures and the seven State of Practice reports presented at the International Conference organized by the EPSRC-funded network STARNET (Stabilisation/solidification treatment and remediation).
Biography
Dr Al-Tabbaa graduated from Bristol University in 1983 in Civil Engineering and obtained an MPhil and PhD degrees in Soil Mechanics in 1984 and 1987 respectively from Cambridge University working on the permeability and stress-strain response of speswhite kaolin clay both experimentally and numerically. She then worked as a geotechnical engineer with Ove Arup & Partners Consulting Engineers in their London and Nottingham Offices for just over three years and was involved in the geotechnical design and construction aspects of a number of projects including Embankment Place and Ludgate Railways Works in the centre of London and Corby and Peterborough power stations.
In 1991 she took up a lectureship at the University of Birmingham and in 1997 returned to Cambridge University as a University Lecturer, now Senior Lecturer. She is a fellow of Sidney Sussex College. She is a Chartered Engineer and a Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
She is a member of the British Geotechnical Association Executive Committee (2001-2004), a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers Geotechnical Engineering Advisory Panel (2003-2005) and the UK representative on the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering Technical Committee TC17 on Ground Improvement. She was awarded the Institution of Civil Engineers Reed and Mallik Medal 2003 for her paper on the five-year soil mixing treatment work at the West Drayton site near Heathrow Airport.
Her research interests over the past eighteen years have concentrated on the following areas:
geoenvironmental engineering,
sustainable remediation,
waste minimisation and re-use,
impact of climate change,
stabilisation/solidification,
deep soil mixing,
in-ground barriers,
modelling of construction processes
applications of soil models in the analysis of geotechnical problems.
