Highway Geology

Description: The discipline contains information about the mechanical and water-physical properties of rocks, the conditions for the formation of the chemical composition of groundwater, the basics of calculations that determine the movement of groundwater in natural conditions, as well as the basics of engineering and geological assessment of rocks.

Amount of credits: 5

• Emergencies of natural and technogenic nature

Course Workload:

Component: University component

Cycle: Base disciplines

Goal

• To lay the theoretical foundations of knowledge in engineering geology. To acquaint students with the theoretical aspects of modern engineering geology, the problems of identifying the features of engineering-geological and hydrogeological features of construction sites.

Objective

• Students receive theoretical knowledge about the most important applied geological sciences: engineering geology and hydrogeology - as a vast field of knowledge about the upper part of the lithosphere in connection with the construction of structures. Study of physical-mechanical and water-physical properties of rocks as a basis for assessing their condition in mountain ranges; Study of engineering-geological studies conducted during construction work. Study of origin, conditions of occurrence and formation, laws

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

• Learning outcomes are determined on the basis of Dublin descriptors of the appropriate level of education and expressed through competencies. As a result of studying the discipline, the student should know: the formation of physical and technical properties of soils; indicators of physical and technical properties of soils; granulometric composition; physical properties of soils; properties and condition of clay and sandy soils when they interact with water; engineering soil reclamation; statistical processing of the results of determining indicators of soil properties; laboratory methods of soil research; processes related to the activity of weathering factors; aeolian processes; processes related to the activity of underground, surface waters.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• - the knowledge gained during the study of the discipline will help young specialists to conduct engineering and geological studies; to take samples and laboratory tests of soils; to assess the impact of geological processes on engineering structures and the impact of these processes on the choice of construction site; to draw engineering and geological maps in accordance with instructional requirements in practice and in the future working in production.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• Competence. Justify the choice of devices, equipment, technologies for solving the set engineering and geological tasks and use these data when writing a graduation project.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• To work in a team qualitatively for the result; the ability to plan your working time and subordinates; to observe moral standards. and also develop the communication skills necessary to work in a team.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• The student should be able to collect and systematize the necessary information.

Teaching methods

The main educational technologies are the theoretical foundations and methods of studying minerals, rocks, processes of internal and external dynamics of the Earth, related to computer methods of assessing deposits, terms and definitions in the field of classification; rules and procedure for classifying minerals and rocks for construction work. It is necessary to competently prepare the base of geological exploration data and initial data for the study of construction sites; work in the MICROMINE package: import source data, perform data validation, upload data to the three-dimensional VizEx environment, outline geological objects, build a frame model, create a block model.
