COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed after the content offered by Prof. Richard Bullock, Prof.
Emeritus of the Dept. of Mining Eng. at Missouri Univ. Science and Technology
as part of the online MSc program offered by the department. The course will
include an overview of the application for tunneling and underground space as
well as construction methods. This will include a brief discussion of geotechnical
site investigation for tunneling applications as well as alignment selection for
tunnels. Student will be exposed to both conventional tunneling techniques and
mechanical excavation, equipment selection and prediction of performance and
advance rate for tunneling operations. Major rock mass classifications and
ground control systems commonly used in tunnel design will be covered and their
implications on selection tunneling excavation methods will be discussed. The
recent development tunnel technology and their application in construction of
different types of tunnels in various geologic settings will be reviewed. The
topics will cover various sizes of underground opening from small diameters built
by microtunneling machines to common tunnels used in civil and mining
applications to large caverns, often found in different end uses such as storage or
hydropower construction. Depending on the interest of the students, issues such
as contact documents, specification, planning, risk registry and management, and
cost estimating techniques will also be discussed.
