Subject syllabus

Engineering geological characteristics of rocks and rock massifs. Geodynamic processes - prognosis and risk assessment. EG survey methods. General principles and principles for the assessment of foundation conditions for ground and underground construction, reconstruction, protection of the devastated area. Prognosis interaction between rock and the object environment.
The water in the rock environment - the basic terms water bearing rock hydrogeological environment. Hydrological characteristics of the river basin - hydrological balance equation. Fundamentals of flow and accumulation of groundwater in the rock mass. Methods for identifying hydraulic parameters of water bearing rock environment. Geo hydrodynamic groundwater systems and their classification. Groundwater regime. Basic hydrochemi (aggressiveness of water). Methods of hydrogeological survey. Tasks applied geology with a focus on the needs civil engineering (drainage pits, linear structures, tunnels, etc.)
