Rock mechanics is the branch of geotechnical engineering concerned with the engineering mechanics and the properties of rocks. In general, civil engineers deal with two types of Earth materials: soils and rocks. Geotechnology is a term used in the literature to describe both the science and engineering of soil deposits, rock masses, and the fluids they contain. The objective of the course is to provide basic knowledge of Rock Mechanics and will help to understand the design aspects of various structures in/on rock-like tunnels and other underground openings, slopes, etc. The aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the rock engineering subject, including the determination physico-mechanical properties of intact rock and rock mass, rock discontinuities, stresses, and failure mechanisms in rocks. This course intends to introduce the basic concept of rock mechanics, principles, and applications to both undergraduate and post-graduate students.
