Engineering Geology
FAST-ZF53Acad. year: 2009/2010
Role of engineering geology in urban planning. Geological and technogenic risks of the environment within the assessment of the foundation soil – stability of subsoil and slope. Engineering geological mapping of the area. Engineering geological investigation for building constructions, traffic structures, water structures and for underground structures. Mud settling pond and waste disposal site and their interaction with rock environment. Geophysical methods and their application. Hydrogeological assessment of foundation soil. Borrow-pits and quarries as sources of rock material. Degradation of foundation structures during the interaction with foundation soil. Role of engineering geology in the process of reconstruction of historical structures.
