ENGRG2404 ROCK MECHANICS APPLICATION
This unit delves into the scientific study of the behaviour of rock materials under various conditions and stresses. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the physical and mechanical properties of rocks, their deformation, and the implications for engineering and geotechnical applications. This unit introduces elasticity, rock mechanics and their applications in rock structure designs, rock support designs and ground control in surface and underground mines. The unit equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and analyze the behaviour of rocks in engineering and geotechnical contexts, enabling them to make informed decisions and design safe and efficient structures and excavations.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
