Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to introduce students who have acquired skills to analyse problems of soil and rock mechanics in unstable masses in the form of natural and man made slopes. The student also learns the technological possibilities in the construction industry to form stable slopes enabling him to take the right decision.

Course Content: Development of natural slopes;cuts
Classification of mass movements
Measurement of relevant soil properties
Measurement of relevant rock properties
Stability of soil slopes : limit equlibrium methods
Stability of soil slopes : slice methods
Essentials of stereographic projection
Analysis of slopes in rock
Use of stability diagrams in stability analyis
Control and prevention of mass movements
Numerical analysis in stability studies
