Aims
Student gains basic checking of rocky environment (rock and weak rocks) as co-operative background with the structure. The student will be acquainted with physical, mechanical and technological properties of rocks and their verification by laboratory and in situ tests in stress state of rocky massive. The student will be able to propose to do basic check of stability of rock slopes and design of rock anchors.
