Full Description

This exam focuses on the theoretical frameworks that govern the stress distribution within rock masses under external loads. Key aspects include the application of continuum mechanics, Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, and associated stresses.

An accurate understanding of stress distribution is vital for predicting the behavior of rock structures subjected to various loads in practical engineering applications. This knowledge directly affects the durability and performance of geological and structural designs.

Candidates will be evaluated on their ability to explain and apply pivotal concepts of stress distribution in verbal assessments, providing insights into specific cases and theoretical models.

Students may be prompted to demonstrate their ability to relate stress analysis to real-world engineering problems, enhancing their capacity for critical thinking.

Sample Questions

  • How does the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion help in assessing rock stability?
  • What is the significance of stress concentration in rock engineering?
