- Study Objective:
-
The aim of the study is to understand the interrelation and interaction of the subjects of building foundation and hydrogeology, methods of engineering geological and hydrogeological research and subsequent use in the construction of building structures in interaction with the subsoil.
It is recommended to attend the 135YTIG (1 week) field course in engineering geology.
