Subject syllabus:

Základní charakteristika průmyslových hornin, petrurgické suroviny, sklo a keramika, cementy a smaltové hmoty, strusky a popílky - fázové složení, fyzikální a mechanické vlastnosi. Přírodní stavební materiály - těžené kamenivo, drcené kamenivo, kámen pro hrubou a ušlechtilou kamenickou výrobu. Aktuelní principy klasifikace se zaměřením na vztah mezi petrografickou analýzou a fyzikálně-mechanickými vlastnostmi.
