Geology
Civil engineers conduct their activities in constant interaction with the subsurface. The geology course provides students with the fundamental Geoscience knowledge necessary for well-integrated engineering within the context of our planet.
Rock mechanics
The students understand the mechanical behaviour of rock materials, joints and rock masses, and are able to determine the factors conditioning civil engineering applications. They are able to use appropriate methods for carrying out analysis and design of tunnel excavation and support.
Rock mass characterization for engineering design
This course advances geomechanics knowledge, focusing on lab tests, in situ & geophysical investigations for interpreting geotechnical projects. Practical modules cover rock physics, mechanics, borehole & subsurface geophysics.
