Register Now - Rock Mass Characterization for Mine Design Short Course

Rock Mass Characterization for Mine Design   Summary   This practical, hands-on course provides geology and geotechnical engineering professionals (entry level to mid-career experience) with the tools required to effectively gather geotechnical data for rock mass classification and rock mechanics design calculations. The gathered data can be used as input for any of the established rock classification systems. The course covers all the commonly used classification values such as Barton's Q, Bieniawski's RMR, Laubscher's MRMR, and Hoek's GSI systems. The course includes a half-day underground mapping and rock classification tour at Britannia Mine, Britannia Beach, BC, Canada, and a half-day surface mapping and rock classification field trip on the outskirts of Vancouver.

Who Should Attend?   The course is directed towards geologists, geotechnicians, and geotechnical engineers involved in gathering geological data for surface and underground mines. Graduate students and recent graduates in geology, mining, geotechnical engineering, and related technology fields may also benefit.

About the Presenter   Dr. Doug Milne is a geological engineer with a PhD in mining rock mechanics. He has over 20 years' industry experience in surface and underground rock mechanics and he teaches rock mechanics at the University of Saskatchewan. Doug has written several papers on rock mass classification and has worked in the field gathering data for classification and design projects.
