Program Description
Expanding cities necessities vertical expansions above and below the ground. Effective usage of underground spaces for transportation and storage facilities is the key to achieve these expansions. A comprehensive understanding of the execution of deep excavations for construction of these underground facilities is vital for an Engineer in this infrastructure era. This course has a systematic and concise treatment to geological and geotechnical aspects of deep excavations and tunneling, Construction methodologies for tunnels, caverns and shafts, Instrumentation monitoring of underground construction, Support systems for deep excavations, Software tools like PLAXIS 2D, WALLAP, RocLab and code provisions in deep excavations and tunnels.
Objective:
- To introduce various underground structures such as tunnels, caverns, shafts and UG stations.
- To explain the construction methodology, support systems like diaphragm walls, sheet piles and challenges in the constructions of tunnels, caverns, shafts, and stations.
- To cover design aspects in the field on geotechnical/rock engineering and tunneling, Instrumentation and monitoring of tunnels.
- To introduce geotechnical software tools.
