224-0903 – Engineering Geology (IG)

The aim of the subject is to inform students about assessment of rock material and rock massif from the point of view engineering practice in construction engineering.

Engineering geology applied geology is a discipline that provides the indispensable documents for solutions to the design and geotechnical engineering objects. The course is theoretical and practical teaching, including geological environment characteristic of the EG report, including the EG survey methods used, criteria for the classification of rocks and rock massifs in the engineering and geotechnical typological classification; geodynamic processes, the causes of their origin, mechanism of processes, assessment, prognosis and risk analysis, Survey Methodology for preventive and remedial measures, overview of regional relationships EG, EG mapping methodology and the importance of map files, the foundations and principles for implementation and evaluation purpose EG survey, for example underground works, hydrotechnical facilities, rehabilitation, reconstruction and remediation work.
