The aim of the course:
Course is designed to teach the general concepts of opening design in discontinuous rock mass and some selected approaches in design.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : define discontiuity phenomena in rock mass31,3
PO - 2 : identify the physical and mechanical properties of discontinuities31,3
PO - 3 : perform stability analyses63,6
PO - 4 : conduct support design in discontinuous rock masses63,6
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
