      Objectives of general skills

      • Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
        • Understand the stages of an engineering approach
        • Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
        • Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
      • Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
        • Identify, describe and explain basic scientific and mathematical principles
        • Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
        • Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines

      UE's Learning outcomes

      understand the principles of building mechanical constitutive laws for geomaterials;<br />identify the behaviour of a rock submitted to mechanical stresses both in atmospheric and under confining conditions;<br />measure the mechanical and physical properties.

      UE Content

      Describing the rock as a porous medium composed of a solid skeleton and fluids; defining stress and strain concepts; building constitutive laws; presentation of different constitutive laws for rocks: linear elasticity, visco-elasticity, poro-elasticity, failure and plasticity; laboratory tests principles; Extension of lab measured characteristics to rock masses by their description, in situ tests and determination of quality indexes of rock masses.

      Prior experience

      Stress and strain notions; mechanical behaviour laws for continuous media; knowledge of rocks and rock masses; physical measuring techniques and instrumentation.
