Introduction to Rock Engineering

Course No. G-4005

Credit: 4 PDH

Course Fee: $115.80 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Yun Zhou, Ph.D. P.E.

Overview

Early development of rock engineering started with treating rock as a continuum material so that matured elastic theory could be applied. Those efforts resulted in a discipline known as rock mechanics. Later development involved treating rock mass as both continuum and discrete materials, depending on the scale of the rock mass, to reflect real rock mass that ranges from an intact continuum single rock block to a conglomerate of discrete rock blocks separated by faults, bedding planes, and joints known as discontinuities. During the past few decades this subject has come together in the discipline which we know today as rock engineering.

This course is applicable to civil, mining, structural, and geotechnical engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the planning, design, and construction of building structures with rocks.

You will review three notes of “Practical Rock Engineering” that were selected from a free set of notes offered online to public by Dr. Evert Hoek.

To earn PDH credit the student must pass a multiple choice quiz consisting of forty (40) questions.
