|
| Course contents : | The 'Soil and rock mechanics' course is the logical complement for the basics thought in geotechnical courses in Bachelor grade. The three main parts of this course are :
- Rock mechanics
- Constitutive modelling for soils and rocks
- Probabilistic approach for field testing.
|
|
| Course objective : | Student have to gain competencies needed for the three main parts of the course:
Rock mechanics: Nature, origins and structure of rock materials; Classification of rock materials; Classification of rock mass; Water into the rock mass; Mechanical properties; In-situ stress state; Mechanical properties of rock joints.
Constitutive models for geomaterials: Fundamental properties of constitutive laws; Elastic models; Elasto-plastic formulation; Internal friction models; CamClay models.
Probabilistic approach for field testing: Basics of probability and statistic; Statistical treatment of experimental data; Analytical and Semi-Analytical method for probabilistic computations; Probabilistic computions by numerical modelling; Probabilistic computions by point estimate technic; Independent perturbations method; Spatial variability modelling. |
