Il corso introduce i principi della meccanica delle rocce allo scopo di: a) progettare un piano di indagine nell’ambito dell'ingegneria delle rocce, b) eseguire la caratterizzazione idro-meccanica degli ammassi rocciosi, c) identificare i meccanismi di rottura e analizzare le condizioni di stabilità dei pendii in roccia, d) comprendere i principi degli scavi profondi negli ammassi rocciosi, e) progettare gli interventi e le misure di stabilizzazione nell’ambito dell'ingegneria delle rocce.
The course has an approximate duration of 50 hours. It consists of a combination of theoretical lectures and class exercises. The language of the course is English.

Students are assessed through an individual oral examination, which include the written dissertaion of analitical problems and also the resolution and critical comment of the practicals carried out during the course.
The examination is designed to assess student learning in different contexts. The written resolution of an analytical question allows students to demonstrate their knowledge in a context that favours reflective reasoning. The oral presentation allows students to demonstrate their knowledge in a context that favours communication and interaction skills. The students' understanding of practical rock engineering applications is evaluated by their critical comments on the exercises.
