Course content
Solving of applied exercises of soil mechanics and rock mechanics (slope stability, mechanics spread footing, earth pressures, filtration stability of terrestrial constructions, etc..). Observation measurement. Influence of geologic-tectonic ratios to geodetic metering. State of stress in rock environment (in terrestrial massif, in subsoil) in homogenous and foliaceous environment from own weight and outer loads. Exercise limiting balances in terrestrial massif and earth construction. Strong effects of underground waters on soil. Technological exercise of geomechanics.

Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
To acquaint student with state of stress in rock environment (in terrestrial massif, subsoil) in homogenous and foliceous environment from own weight, outer load and strong effects of underground waters on soil. Give students complex knowledge in the area applied geotechnic.
After graduation have students complex knowledge from sphere of applied geotechnic.
