Course Name: Rock Mechanics and Tunneling

Course abstract

A good understanding about the mechanics behind the load transfer mechanism and the stability of different geotechnical structures constructed in/on the rocks becomes very much essential for the civil and mining engineers. On the other hand, the tunneling is a very efficient solution for the public transport as well as other underground transport systems. The course ‘Rock Mechanics and Tunneling’ will give an overall idea about the rock mechanics and its applications.

The course content was designed beautifully and presented well. Several numericals were explained in the video which helped to understand the theory and it's application in real field case. I'll definitely use the material to modify my content using the available lecture notes. One thing is that you have mentioned Earth Science/ Geology students or faculty in the course. Kindly allow them too.
