Module code | CSMM187 |
Module lecturers: | Prof John Coggan |
Module credits: | 15 |
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 ‘Excavation and Geomechanics’ 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.
