Summary
The content of the subject are techniques to design and execute vertical deep shafts, steep inclined line underground works, unconventional methods of construction of underground works whose parameters or implementation conditions exclude standard construction methods and further do not allow or exclude direct human participation in performing of construction work operations (Freezing, No Dig, Immersed Tunnels, Leached Caverns and others).
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Objective of the course in terms of learning outcomes and competences is to provide students with knowledge of designing and executing vertical deep shafts, steep inclined line underground works, unconventional methods of construction of underground works whose parameters or implementation conditions exclude standard construction methods and further do not allow or exclude direct human participation in performing of construction work operations (Freezing, No Dig., Immersed Tunnels, Leached Caverns and others).
