MAD 425E - Applied Rock Mechanics

Course Objectives

1. Applications of rock mechanics in underground mines
2. Applications of rock mechanics in open pit mines
3. Applications of rock mechanics in tunnels

Course Description

This course helps to the students do the rock mechanics studies and projects to whom already has taken the courses of Rock Mechanics and Design of Support in Mines and Tunnels. Firstly, the applications of rock mechanics in the feasibility studies will be given as a part of this aim. Then, the required technical information and abilities as well as the basic application concepts shall be given for underground mines, tunnels, and open pit mines. This elective course will be supplementary especially for the engineering candidates have the knowledge of rock mechanics and are willing to work in these areas.
