Anotace

Engineering Geology focuses on studying geological conditions and their impact on construction activities. Students learn to recognize and describe the rock environment that forms the foundation soil for construction. They gain knowledge of the rock cycle, the formation of rock masses, and the principles of endogenous and exogenous geological processes. The course also includes mastering methods for investigating the rock environment and assessing the suitability of rocks for construction and decorative purposes. It provides essential knowledge for engineering decision-making in geologically complex conditions.
