Rock Mechanic and Geotechnic

Rock mechanics and geotechnics sciences examine the mechanical behavior of surface and sub-surface layers of the ground. The complexity of these sciences is because of many uncertainties in rock and soil s ructure. The importance of this field of s udy is to decrease the risk of natural and man-made hazards.

The main capabilities and skills in this field include:

  • Stability analysis of rock slopes and landslides
  • Underground structure design
  • Land subsidence study
