What will I learn?
This course equips participants with essential skills to evaluate granite rock masses, utilize RMR and Q classification systems, and analyze in-situ stress in tectonically active mountain areas. Participants will learn to identify failure mechanisms, develop initial drill-and-blast tunnel support plans, apply empirical charts and basic tools, and implement monitoring for adaptive strategies in safe underground construction projects.
