5. Support design for tunnels and/or mining excavations

BRIEF SUMMARY

One of the great problems of mining and/or civil works is the stability and design of the support of the excavations that are carried out.

In the course, the specialist will present practical cases to be able to define which will be the most appropriate method or system of fortification and support, according to the characteristics of the problematic area of ​​the work that is defined to be fortified. To define the type of support, empirical methods such as geomechanical classifications will be used, as well as computer-assisted numerical methods. Finally, the operating mechanism and technical specifications of the main supports used in both mining and civil works will be reviewed.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

► Properly select and design supports to be used in excavations.

► They will also have the competence to know the operating mechanism of supports in underground excavations and their design parameters.

BENEFITS

► Valid course to access the international specialization diploma in underground and surface Geomechanics.

► Receive the specialist certification in underground and surface geomechanics.

► Train at the hands of a speaker with extensive experience in the subject.

► Receive materials for each unit such as slides, manuals and data that you can keep.

► Being able to make all necessary academic queries directly to the speaker.

► Freedom to access the course on the day and at the time you want, as well as to pause and go back the class as many times as necessary until you fully assimilate the knowledge provided.

► The costs are reduced compared to those of a face-to-face course, since the expenses incurred are lower.

► Access the network of professionals from the various countries of the world. Technicians, university students, engineers, masters, doctors, post doctors and the general public related to the professional field participate in our courses.

► Access the database of the queries and answers of the participants, as well as the technical reports generated in each course.

 

TRAINING MODALITY
The modality presented is the “Virtual-OFFLINE” (Virtual asynchronous); in this you will develop a course every 30 days, which is made up of videos, materials, slides and questions to the speaker. At the end of each course, you must take an exam to pass it and move on to the next course.
You will be assigned the tutoring of a specialist and there will be no limitations in terms of access hours or consultations with the speaker, this promotes that you be trained efficiently. The hours dedicated to each module must be managed assertively to optimize the benefit. You will experience all of the above through our virtual campus, which will also allow us to monitor your progress.

TESTIMONIALS

"The use of this software is important and thanks to the course I can better manage and consider the analysis of the rock mass taking into consideration the parameters of analysis and have better criteria to perform work in tunnels. The academic advising always supported me. It is gratifying to be able to train and learn in a simple way. Congratulations!"
