2. Modeling Elements for Conventional Tunnels

BRIEF SUMMARY

In this module, students will gain the necessary knowledge to understand the elements involved in the geotechnical design of conventional tunnels. Advanced concepts related to laboratory testing, rock mass quality classification systems, excavation behavior types, excavation size selection, and reinforcement calculations will be covered.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

► Identify the various laboratory tests required to define the essential parameters for geotechnical design.

► Understand the parameters that comprise different rock mass classification systems and their practical application in the field.

► Identify the variables present in different geological environments of conventionally excavated tunnels and understand remediation measures for instability issues.

► Understand and assess the characteristics that determine tunnel size and their support requirements.

BENEFITS

► Access to the International Diploma in geotechnical design of tunnels

► Get trained by a speaker with vast experience on the subject.

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

► Freedom to access a 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 that is provided.

► Access to the network of professionals from 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 diploma course.

► Access to the database of queries and answers from the participants, as well as the technical reports generated in each module and the supporting theses.

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.
