Content of the Engineering Geological – Geotechnical investigation studies. Rock
mass classification systems, Rock slope stability studies (case study: photomapping,
in situ engineering geological mapping, joints sets` recording and statistical
evaluation (Schmidt Net), kinematic analysis of plane and wedge
failures),Engineering geological design of earth dams, tailing ponds, road and railway
networks, urban and sub-urban environment. Aggregates natural & artificial
(properties, lab testing, sources).

Learning Outcomes : The learning outcomes expected to be achieved during the course ""Engineering Geology of Infrastructure Works"" include: • Understanding the basic principles and special works required in all stages and phases of engineering geological and geotechnical studies. • Understanding and conducting all office and field works required for the stability study of rock slopes (interpretation of aerial photographs, technical-geological field mapping, on-site rock mass classification, on-site recording of discontinuity systems, statistical processing of discontinuity recordings, stability analysis, sizing parameters of support measures). • The ability to understand the engineering geological parameters that shape the foundation conditions of dams, reservoirs, and mining tailings, as well as the conditions within their inundation and feeding basins. • Engineering geological investigations of linear works (roads, railways, pipelines, etc.). Engineering geological investigations in urban and regional planning. • The ability to understand the environmental integration of technical works. • The ability to understand the engineering geological properties of aggregates as well as the engineering geological parameters of borrow pits.
