This course was recorded in 2021 by Dr Nick Barton, an ISRM Fellow and recipient of the 2011 Müller Award of the ISRM. In this course, it includes some examples of empirical methods in rock mechanics and rock engineering: for tunnelling, rock joints, rock masses, and rock slopes, cliffs and mountains (Q, QTBM, JRC, JCS, QSLOPE and other topics) The course has four parts, each opening in its own page. Part 1 - The many faces of Q Part 2 - Shear Strength of Rock, Rock Joints, etc. Part 3 - Failure Modes in Rock Masses Part 4 - TBM Performance and Prognosis
This course was recorded in 2021 by Prof. Wulf Schubert, an ISRM Fellow and Vice President at Large for the ISRM from 1999 to 2003. The course has six parts, each opening in its own page. Part 1 - Geotechnical Monitoring for Tunnels Part 2 - Prediction on Displacements and Check of System Behavior with GeoFit Part 3 - Use and Importance of Deflection or State Lines Part 4 - Displacement Vectors in Cross and Longitudinal Section Part 5 - Evaluation of Displacement Vector Orientations and Ratios of Displacement Components Part 6 - Evaluation and Prediction of Lining Utilization from Displacement Measurements
