| Study level | undergraduate or graduate |
Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the typology of underground structures. Underground structures today cover a wide range of existential needs of advanced human society. Attention is paid to the tasks that these constructions are supposed to fulfill, the requirements that are placed on them, and the conceptual layout designs and the structural solutions of their individual parts. Students will acquire knowledge that will provide them with sufficient orientation in the field and which are necessary for their individual practical design work.

Summary
The subject is a basic geotechnical subject synthesizing the previously acquired knowledge in the field of rock dismantling, technology of stamping and reinforcing of underground works and other disciplines. In addition to the design of basic parameters, buildings (size and shape) deals mainly with the issue of tunnel and cave tunneling methods. There are presented classic tunneling procedures for tunnel excavation as well as model tunneling methods. Part of the subject is also the way of tunnel ventilation and isolation. Considerable attention is paid to machine tunneling in difficult natural conditions (shielding, extrusion, microtuneling, etc.).
