| Course Description : | The rocks: engineering classification, exploitation, mechanical
properties, deformation, in situ strength; rock mass properties:
discontinuity analysis; rock slope stability; geomechanical
classification for different purposes. Soil: genesis and structure,
physical properties, engineering characteristics, site investigation,
in situ testing, engineering classification; shear strength and
effective stress concepts; slope stability; verification of foundation
stability on cohesive and granular soils; geologic factors in the
design and construction of engineering projects as dams,
tunnels...etc. |
