Geomechanics

Summary

The course is focused on the prediction of the behavior of the rock mass during mining, monitoring the manifestations of mining in the massif and ensuring the stability of mine workings and rock mass. The course discusses topics dealing with stress in the massif, methods of its determination and modeling. Knowledge of the stress-strain state of the massif is further used for dimensioning reinforcements and prediction of anomalous phenomena.
