Lectures and lab demonstrations will cover: Basic Rock Mechanics (including field investigations, laboratory techniques, and design applications); Geological Considerations of Soils (including formation and laboratory techniques); Rock Excavation (including blasting and mechanical methods); Foundation Treatment (including gravity structure stability and uplift as well as grouting and cutoff wall remediation); Rock Reinforcement (including slope stability, rock bolts, and rock anchors); Geological Considerations of Dam and Levee Safety (including risk informed analysis, instrumentation, and remediation). This class includes a one day laboratory visit where Rock Mechanics, Soil Mechanics, and Drilling Techniques will be demonstrated.
