French term or phrase: Conception des ouvrages dans le roc
Hi,

This is the name of a course given at the Université Laval.
The course summary is:
"Puits, tunnels, stockage souterrain, travaux miniers souterrains. Conception des excavations par des méthodes analytiques, numériques et empiriques. Systèmes de soutènement (boulons, câbles d'ancrage, béton projeté, grillage, traverses, etc.). Conception des systèmes de soutènement. Applications usuelles. Contrôle de qualité de l'installation du soutènement; surveillance; projets de conception."(https://www.ulaval.ca/etudes/cours/gmn-7001-conception-des-o...

Can it be "design of retaining walls and excavation support systems"?

This is a certified transaltion for Australia.

Thanks

Explanation:
"ouvrages" in this context would mean "the works"; "dans le roc" means in the rock or in the stone; so this is my suggestion based on the context. good luck :-)

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thanks Marco. I saw those references, but the student is already taking a "rock mechanics" class so I think this might be something else.
