Rock Mechanics and Tunneling

Prof. Debarghya Chakraborty · IIT Kharagpur

Start with lecture 1 At NPTEL

About

A good understanding about the mechanics behind the load transfer mechanism and the stability of different geotechnical structures constructed in/on the rocks becomes very much essential for the civil and mining engineers. On the other hand, the tunneling is a very efficient solution for the public transport as well as other underground transport systems. The course ‘Rock Mechanics and Tunneling’ will give an overall idea about the rock mechanics and its applications.

Intended audience: B.Tech./B.E., M.Tech./M.E., Ph.D.

Prerequisites: Engineering Mechanics, Solid Mechanics, Soil MechanicsINDUSTRY SUPPORTED : Most of the Civil infrastructure development companies and the Companies dealing with the mining operations.
