3 credits · Graduate

This course deals with the application of rock mechanics principles to rock engineering projects in Civil Engineering. A brief review of rock mechanics and engineering geology principles will be provided. These principles will be applied to design topics such as: rock foundations/anchors; grouting; and slope stability. In situ testing and instrumentation, and computer analysis in rock engineering will be covered. Case studies will be emphasized in the course. FORMATS: Lecture | Tutorial
