What will I learn?
The Rock Mechanics Course gives you practical skills to characterize granite rock masses, apply RMR and Q systems, and interpret in-situ stress in mountainous, tectonically active regions. Learn to assess failure modes, design preliminary drill-and-blast tunnel support, use empirical charts and simple tools, and set up monitoring and adaptive support strategies for safe, efficient underground projects.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Rock mass characterization: evaluate granite properties and joint conditions fast.
- Rock classification design: apply RMR/Q to size tunnel support in minutes.
- Elastic tunnel analysis: estimate stress redistribution and key failure modes.
- In-situ stress assessment: define practical stress states for preliminary design.
- Monitoring and adaptive support: interpret data and upgrade tunnel support early.
