Underground Engineering

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.
