(CHARACTERIZATION, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TUNNELS)(3 al 19 de Julio) – Curso DICTADO en idioma inglés

Caracterización, Diseño y Construcción de Túneles (CHARACTERIZATION, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TUNNELS)

(3 al 19 de Julio)

Los retos actuales que enfrenta Colombia para el desarrollo de su infraestructura detransporte, minera y de generación eléctrica, entre otros, hacen que los proyectos queinvolucren el diseño y la construcción de túneles estén dentro de las prioridadesestratégicas del País y esto sin duda requiere de la participación de muchos ingenieros consólidos conocimientos en el tema.

El propósito de esta cátedra es brindar un panorama amplio, claro y actualizado sobre latemática de los túneles en aspectos como métodos de caracterización de los macizosrocosos, criterios de diseño según las condiciones del terreno y del proyecto, diferentesprocesos constructivos, aspectos ambientales, seguimiento y evaluación delcomportamiento de túneles, etc.

John A Hudson, BSc, PhD, DSc, FREng, obtained his BSc degree in MiningEngineering from the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1965and his PhD in rock mechanics from the University of Minnesota, USA, in1970. After a further two-year period of post-doctoral study at theUniversity of Minnesota, from 1972-1977 he worked in the Tunnels Divisionat the Transport and Road Research Laboratory, UK. Then, from 1977-1979

at the Department of Strategic Research Operations in the Department of the Environment,UK, from 1979-1980 as a Visiting Professor at the University of Wisconsin, USA, and from1980-1983 at the Building Research Station, UK. During this latter period, he was awardedthe DSc degree by the Heriot-Watt University. From 1983 to the present, he has beenaffiliated as Reader and then Professor in the Department of Earth Science and Engineeringat the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of London, UK. Hewas elected as a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 1998. Also and since 1985,Professor Hudson has acted as an independent consultant on more than 100 projects.
