What will I learn?
Gain hands-on expertise in assessing granite rock masses, using RMR and Q systems, and analysing in-situ stress in tectonically active mountain areas. Master failure mode evaluation, initial drill-and-blast tunnel support design, empirical charts, basic tools, and monitoring for adaptive strategies in safe underground operations.
