Course aims

The course aims to acquaint students with the characteristics of the original stress and strain state of the rock mass and its changes in the excavation of mining works and subsequent mining. The student should use the knowledge from the subject of rock and soil mechanics for practical calculations with regard to the dimensioning of the dimensions of mines and reinforcements of mine workings, prediction of rock mass deformation or prognosis of anomalous phenomena.
