| Learning objectives | ||||
| The main goal of the course is to acquaint mining students with the basic physical-mechanical and technical-technological properties of rocks and soil and the laboratory methods of their testing, the basic methods of registering stresses, deformations and pressures in the field, model tests, the classification of terrain as a working environment and the conditions for performing earthworks works in different rock masses. | ||||
| Learning outcomes | ||||
| After listening to and passing the course, students will master laboratory methods of testing the physical-mechanical properties of rocks and soil, as well as field methods of testing the stress-deformation behavior of rock mass. | ||||
