What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to analyse granite rock formations, utilise RMR and Q classification methods, and evaluate ground stresses in rugged, seismically active areas. You will study rock failure patterns, plan initial drill-and-blast tunnel reinforcements, employ practical charts and basic instruments, and establish surveillance plus flexible reinforcement plans for secure and cost-effective underground works.
