Focus:
Principles describing the mechanical response of rock media subjected to disturbance by man. Effects of ambient stresses and geological, thermal, electrical, and chemical factors in rock construction. Civil engineering design factors and case histories that relate to the behavior of rocks and sediments. Characterization of rocks and sediments and how to explore and measure their engineering properties.
