F3-A
Few of the experiments might be agreed to be arranged another time of the week. |
| Recommended semester: 7th - 9th semester |
| Scope and form: Lectures, laboratory work, projects |
| Evaluation: Oral presentation and approval of reports
|
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Previous course: 56505 |
| Prerequisites: Knowledge of experimental soil mechanics and geology |
| Preferred prerequisites: 11412 / 56552 |
| Aim: The course relates to classification, strength and deformation properties using field and laboratory testing and permeability and fracture mechanics for soft as well as hard rock. A number of laboratory tests will be carried out in order to obtain background for establishment of a consistent stress strain model for finite element modelling. The background will be Danish experience on soft rock like chalk, limestone, and clayshale, which will be extended to an international frame covering rock mechanics for building industry as well as for specialised application in oil and gas reservoir technology. |
| Contents: Rock mechanics, classification, laboratory and field testing, material models and modelling related to practical application in building and oil and gas reservoir purposes. |
| Remarks: A part of the laboratory tests will be carried out at GEO - Danish Geotechnical Institute. |
