Outline of lectures
1. The stone in human society, from history to the present, and its role in the development of human society. Types of rocks suitable for rough and noble stone production and their classification according to various criteria. Raw material resources, stone deposits for HUKV in the Czech Republic and examples of quarries extracting stone blocks for HKV and UKV.
2. The concept of block mining. Factors influencing block mining. Mining in soft and hard materials. Stone block mining technology - a brief overview of mining methods. Main principles for opening quarries for block mining. Principles for carrying out overburden work and the process of face queues. Basic parameters of quarry and mining sections, values of broken block.
