Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The aim is to present the basics of geology, engineering geology and soil mechanics. After completing the course, students will be able to recognize the basic types of rocks and soils, to determine their physical and mechanical properties and suitability for the establishment, or to recognize the hazards and know how to seek appropriate professional advice. Student will know how to use engineering- geological judgment, understand the pressures and natural roles in the stability and rock environment , know the basic concepts of geology, rock cutting, endogenous and exogenous processes , have a basic understanding of the hydrogeology and the influence of water on the geology and water movement in the rocks , be able to introduce stress in soils on the basis of the acquired knowledge and they will be able to decide on the choice of foundation structures.
