BROCHUREThe diploma course in rock mechanics will provide theoretical and practical knowledge related to the study of rock masses and discontinuities with the objective of understanding the behavior of stresses and deformations when performing subway and/or surface excavations. At the end of the course, the participant will understand the phenomena that affect rock masses and will be able to give recommendations to maintain the stability of excavations. Knowledge will be reinforced through workshops using specialized software. The course will offer you a basic, intermediate and advanced level to specialize in rock mechanics applied to subway and surface excavations such as tunnels, mining slopes, waste and tailings deposits, geomechanical design for mining, civil and energy industries. You will have the facility to review or learn the basics of the subject and then delve into its more specific points, so you will benefit from your new knowledge founded on a theoretical basis, and developed in practice through the various workshops that the diploma course contains.MARCUM UR UC CM RUC Rca RUM Race elute EIR scene eet eae Chae eee ie Reta oR Reet MIE RR | teseccate) in the Spanish-speaking region, thanks to the fact that we are part of the innovative sector that offers e-learning services.
