Specific Objectives
Show the influence of the processes of formation of waste, glacial and colluvial deposits in its hydraulic and mechanical properties. Provide criteria to understand the spatial distribution and geometry of these deposits show the influence of the processes of formation of heavy, alluvial and coastal its hydraulic and mechanical properties deposits. Providing criteria to understand the spatial distribution and geometry of these deposits

Specific Objectives
Show the different deformational behavior of rocks (elastic, plastic, elastic-plastic) and the phases to break. Explain the influence of textural parameters such as foliation or porosity in the strength properties of the rock. Submit mineralogical and textural components that determine the hardness, abrasiveness and durability of rocks and trials for determination

2h Large group + 2h 48m Self StudyConcept of rock mass. Type discontinuities and resistance properties of the joints. Barton and Choubey criteria. Objective tests cutting RQD Index rankings Q Rock Mass Rating Field practice Practices: stereographic projection
Specific Objectives
Introduce the concept of rock mass. Explain how the geometric characteristics and condition of discontinuities (roughness, waviness, alteration) controls its tough behavior provide the elements for the characterization and evaluation of the quality of the rock mass on the ground through simple procedures Enter the procedure for Hoek and Brown evaluation of rock mass strength and recent improvements. Presenting the different procedures for assessing the deformability of the rock mass. Identification of different types of rock mass discontinuities. Learning far discontinuities with compass. Data collection necessary for the geomechanical classifications
