Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the subject is to supplement already acquired information from the previous study. The subject freely follows the master's subjects of the bachelor degree. The aim of the course is to focus on some selected types of buildings and technologies commonly used in the world. It further extends basic information obtained from the bachelor degree. It also leads to the practical and independent application of the information obtained by the study.t.

Summary

The subject of the follow-up study is one of the basic subjects when the student learns about the technologies used in the construction of underground structures. The subject is no longer focused on individual technologies, but focuses on individual areas of underground construction. Particular emphasis is given to the contemporary embossing methods for the construction of excavated underground constructions, but also to the modern methods of construction in the open pit. In addition, it is possible to combine construction methods, constructions built with controlled tunneling machines, flooded structures, etc. The subject also includes urban constructions for the maintenance of engineering networks (collectors) and the construction of the construction site of excavated buildings (portal sections). Within the subject are taught methods for spatial numerical modeling.
