Stability of Rock Slopes and -Foundations
1st of März 2007, ETH Hönggerberg| Patronate: | Swiss Society for Soil and Rock Mechanics (SGBF) |
| Organisation: | Pit Fritz (IGT) |
Topic
After an overview over the rock mechanical fundamentals and the methods for analyzing the stability of rock slopes and foundations, the program AutoBlock is introduced and presented in detail. The aim of the course is that all participants get an impression of the possibilities of AutoBlock, its applicability for various purposes and how it may be used.
Two examples from engineering practice provide a deeper insight on working with AutoBlock. They should instruct civil engineers and geologists how a specific problem may be solved using a scientific approach.
