Industry-Abridged Joint Certification Programme
Expanding cities necessitates 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.
Soil Mechanics, Foundation Engineering, Structural Analysis
20 hours of self-paced interactive learning, including summative assessment and expert live interactions
At the end of the course, the student will be able to :
Comprehend the different soil investigation techniques, rock mass classifications, components of different underground structures and their functions.
Design and apply different construction methodologies for tunnels, Caverns and shafts in different soil and rock conditions.
Create an instrumentation monitoring plan for tunnel construction
Evaluate the suitability of different excavation supports such as sheet piles, soldier piles, diaphragm walls and tunnel support for different soil and rock conditions
Comprehend the use of different software tools like PLAXIS 2D, WALLAP, RocLab in deep excavations and apply code provisions for mitigating water ingress and seepage in excavations and tunnels.
