Riassunto

This contributed book edited by leading global experts focuses on the geoenvironmental and geotechnical issues of coal mine overburden and mine tailings and its unengineered dumping. It aims to provide knowledge-based information for diverse readers to assess, monitor, and manage coal mine overburden and mine tailings in various engineering applications while highlighting efficient solutions to reutilize the waste and conserve natural resources leading to sustainable development. The content also assesses mine backfilling, techniques to stabilize mine tailing storage facilities, mineral carbonation of mine tailings, landfill liners and barrier systems, reclamation of coal mine overburden, and geochemical, microbial, and environmental sustainability assessment, among others. This book is a useful resource for those in academia and industry.

Dr. Reddy has received several awards, including ASCE Wesley W. Horner Award, ASTM Hogentogler Award, the UIC Distinguished Researcher Award, University of Illinois Scholar Award, and University of Illinois Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Dr. Lohitkumar Nainegali is an assistant professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad. He received his M.Tech. and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. His research is mainly focused on the physical and numerical modeling of geotechnical systems, stability of geotechnical structures, soils dynamics and foundations, and valorization of industrial waste/utilization of mine overburden. He has received various research grants on similar research areas from the Department of Science and Technology, India and Coal India Limited, etc. and has conducted several consultancy projects. He has several publications in renowned international journals and conferences. He has mentored one Ph.D. and 07 M.Tech. scholars and is currently guiding four Ph.D. scholars.

Dr. Surabhi Jain is currently pursuing postdoctoral research at the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad. She was awarded the PECFAR award in 2022 and working in the collaboration with Technical University of Munich, Germany. She has completed one year of post-doctorate at Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Shantou, China. She received her Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India. Her research work is in biogeotechnics, utilization of industrial waste in construction, and sustainable engineering. She is the first researcher who started working on valorizing industrial waste using biochemical processes. She has delivered various lectures on biogeotechnics and biocementation on different reputed platforms.
