Effective design is critical for the stability and creation of a safe working environment for underground excavations. The module commences with a critical review of input data required for design of underground excavations (building on previous knowledge obtained in the year 2 module ‘Geotechnics’ or equivalent). The model investigates factors influencing the design of underground excavations, including both discontinuity and stress-controlled instability. The module is not recommended for interdisciplinary pathways.
