INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KHARAGPUR
KHARAGPUR - 721 302 (W.B.), INDIA
ABOUT THE COURSE
Geomechanics covers the engineering behaviour of rock and rock masses in both mining and civil engineering applications. The practice of rock mechanics are continuously evolving and making significant progress for improving productivity and safety. Several civil /mining companies have successfully implemented rock mechanics principles to solve short and long term geotechnical issues at their sites. As a result, the importance of rock mechanics and ground control of surface and underground excavations are felt more now than ever before.
This course is specifically designed to expose rock mechanics practitioners to the newer and state-of-the-art know-how in rock mechanics. The course is aimed to equip participants with the latest rock mechanics technologies and impart knowledge of relevant case studies and typical rock mechanics applications.
Emphasis will be placed on practical hands-on tutorials on principles of rock mechanics as well as laboratory investigation to find the physical and mechanical properties of rock. This course starts from the basics with the recent developments and focuses on their applications to solve real life problems.
COURSE CONTENT
