To introduce learners to the various concepts associated with underground tunnels. The learners will gain basic knowledge about the various types of construction methods adopted for tunnels, caverns, and deep excavations and the design methodologies associated with each construction technique in accordance with the latest state of the art.
Underground structures have become very crucial today due to various reasons, such as growing urbanization, development of strategic structures like oil storage caverns, hydroelectric projects, improvement in rail road connectivity, etc. The need for experts involved in the design as well as site management for these underground structures is rapidly increasing throughout the world. Therefore, this course on deep excavation and tunnels is structured in a way to impart a brief understanding on the various types of underground its tunnel, caverns and shafts, components, construction methodology, and certain basic design aspects in the field on geotechnical/rock engineering and tunneling.
