Rock mechanics plays a pivotal role in shaping the practices of both civil engineers and mining professionals, providing the essential foundation for designing safe and efficient infrastructures and mining operations. Mastering the principles of rock strength and deformability at both intact and mass scales, along with a deep understanding of rock mass classification systems, is vital in comprehending rock behavior and devising robust engineering solutions.<\/p>\n
Our five-week course, “Practical rock mechanics for civil and mining engineering applications”, immerses participants in this critical discipline, enabling them to tackle diverse engineering projects with confidence. Throughout the course, participants will gain insights into rock mass failure mechanisms and learn how to identify and assess potential geohazards for surface and underground excavations and apply practical stabilization techniques for rock mass stability. Live webinars and hands-on exercises will enrich the learning experience, empowering students to make informed decisions, implement innovative solutions, and contribute to the advancement of sustainable and efficient rock engineering practices.<\/p>\n
This program is designed to equip participants with essential knowledge and practical skills in rock mechanics, covering principles, surface and underground excavations, stabilization techniques, and hazard assessment. Through hands-on exercises, participants will gain the expertise needed to excel in the domain of rock mechanics and tackle challenging engineering projects with confidence. Hence, it is envisaged that attendees will obtain gain the necessary skills to:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Understand the fundamental principles of rock mechanics, including intact rock strength, deformability, and that of the discontinuities, as well as rock mass classification and estimation of its engineering properties.
\n\u2022 Identify potential geohazards for surface excavations, while learning practical techniques for rock slope stability assessment and foundations engineering.
\n\u2022 Gain insights into rock mass behavior around an underground space.<\/p>\n
