LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the completion of the course the student is able to
- use rock classificationsystems for estimation of rock mass properties
- analyze the behavior of rock mass as discontinuous, heterogeneous and partly unknown material under stress field
- perform rudimentary stability analysis
- select appropriate laboratory and field test methods for rock mass characterization
