| Objectives of the Course | |||||
| Discontinuities have an important influence on rock mass geometry, strength, failure behaviour, deformation characteristics, and permeability. Clearly, an understanding of the physical and mechanical properties of the discontinuities, both singly and in the rock mass context, is therefore of paramount importance in geological, mining, civil and petroleum engineering applications. The primary purpose of this course is to explain and discuss engineering characteristics of discontinuities, and a number of graphical methods used in discontinuity analyses, and to consider why discontinuity analyses can be of practical value to engineers. In addition, the other purpose is to present the fundemental conceps of the recently used modern rock mass classification systems and rock mass failure criterion in engineering with their field of applications and limitations. | |||||
