Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
understand the principles of building mechanical constitutive laws for geomaterials;
identify the behaviour of a rock submitted to mechanical stresses both in atmospheric and under confining conditions;
measure the mechanical and physical properties.
Content of UE
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.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q1
Q1 UE Assessment Comments
Total weight of the course: 3 credits
An interrogation is organised in December concerning the exercises part of the course. Weight : 40%.
The exam dealing with the theoretical part is weighted 60%. It is organised without any documentation and is composed of two parts: a general question to be prepared in form of a written dissertation (40%) and an oral discussion (20%). All students prepare the same general question for about one hour. The oral part consists in customised questions that deal with all the content of the course.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q3
