| 授業の概要・目的 | Unlike soil, rock is strong and hard materials consisting of solid aggregates of various minerals. However, rock mass is different from concrete because it is not merely a mixture of materials binding together but it has undergone geological process and formed structural discontinuities. Therefore, strength of rock mass is controlled by planes of weakness and extents of fractures. Moreover, water can have impact on rocks, not by breaking rock into pieces, but rather breaking rock into blocks through permeable discontinuities. Design and construction technology of rock structures (such as tunnel, rock slope, dam), geology, mechanical properties of rock and rock fracture, laboratory tests and field measurements of rock and rock mass are introduced in this lecture. |
| 到達目標 | This lecture aims to provide basic understanding of engineering properties of rock and rock masses for applications in both civil engineering works and mining operations. Design exercise of rock structure is also introduced. |
