Geological Sciences

Developing competences Basic information about technical and hydraulic properties in order to solve geological-technical issues. Rock properties will be briefly introduced. Learning outcomes Classification of rocks and soils, correct definition of physical and hydraulic properties of soils, analysis of stresses under geostatic conditions, capillarity, deformability, graphical solution for stress distribution in soil media and site investigation; discussion on stresses induced by 1D groundwater flow in soil columns.
