Civil Engineering geology describes the rock environment that forms the foundation for construction and also provides materials usable directly in the building construction or for the preparation of building materials. The formation of the rock environment and its material composition and structure are in relation to the processes, which they created and which subsequently influence them. Students will learn to identify basic types of rocks, to describe the properties and behavior of different types of rock environment in relation to its genesis, which are the basis for understanding the interaction between the structure and the soil. Very specific is the application of rocks as building and ornamental stones in exterior and interior design of structures especially in historical structures. Knowledge of essential endogenous and exogenous processes affecting rock masses will enable students to predict its properties and behavior in the future. An integral part of building geology is the basal identification of the surface and groundwater regime and its influence on the properties and behavior of the rock mass and rock massifs. To properly assess the suitability of the rock environment for construction, students need to learn to use all the information sources about the rock environment - foundation soil. Students will learn to use these resources as part of practical exercises. An introduction to the regional knowledge of the geological structure of the Czech Republic is also part of the teaching.
