Name of subject: Slope Stability and Reconstruction |
Instructors:
Prof. Vladimir Čebašek, Prof. Veljko Rupar |
|
Status: Optional |
|
ECTS: 5 |
|
Prerequisites: Rock and soil maechanics |
Course Objectives:
The objective of the course is to introduce students to advanced principles and methods of slope stability analysis and slope design, as well as open-pit slope remediation and reconstruction. |
Learning Outcomes:
The course will provide students to understand the problems of interaction between the rock and soil masive and the surface exploitation process, and to determine the basic rock and soil properties as the basis for the open-pit slope design and their remediation and reconstruction. |
Content:
Theory teaching
Introducing to the importance and process of the shear strength research and the theory of rock and soil material strength. The methodology of analyzing and selecting the data necessary for the opent-pit slope design, as well as the factors that influence their stability, will be studied. Introducting to advanced slope stability calculation methods which represent the basis for open-pit designing and performing. Practical teaching
The algorithm for calculating the slope stability will be studied. Basic geological and geomechanical field studies and laboratory tests that are necessary for the slope stability analysis will be introduced. Procedures for input data analysis and selection for stability calculations. Advanced methods for slope stability analysis in soil and rock materials will be introduced. |
