Course Coordinator		Cüneyt Atilla Öztürk
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.
Course Outcomes		Students will be able to; 1. Shall develop project for underground openings, 2. Shall design the open pit mine slopes based on rock mechanics principles, 3. Shall obtain a background to develop projects in tunnels based on the relation between rock mass and support systems.
