Description
COURSE DETAILS:
DIRECTED READINGS – GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERISATION OF ROCK MASSESS:
This course will include literature review of the state-of-the-art in geotechnical characterisation of rock masses including remote sensing, field methods and continuum/discontiniuum numerical modelling. A particular empahsis of the course will be the application of new geovisualisation methods to rock mass characterisation including Virtual and Mixed Reality techniques. Computer laboratory work associated with the course will include the application of advanced continuum and discontinuum codes to rock mass modelling. The use of discrete fracture networks will also be introduced. A geotechnical project will be undertaken involving optimised interpretation of borehole, field, remote sensing and modelling data using VR/MR techniques. The course will be assessed based on written computer laboratory reports, summaries of the literature consulted through scheduled seminars and a design project using a combined numerical modelling-VR/MR approach
Graduate Studies Notes:
Important dates and deadlines for graduate students are found here: http://www.sfu.ca/dean-gradstudies/current/important_dates/guidelines.html. The deadline to drop a course with a 100% refund is the end of week 2. The deadline to drop with no notation on your transcript is the end of week 3.
Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
