Mechanics of Rock Media 1300-OMOS11C-GES
The classes supplement the lecture with regard to basic calculation methods applied in rock engineering, mechanics and mechanics of materials. They comprise practical exercises with resistance tests and interpretation of the obtained results. The lab classes combined with theoretical knowledge help to develop skills in analyzing deformation processes of rock massifs in the scale of the massif based on theoretical descriptions and complex lab analyses.
