Purpose and description of the content of education:
The study aims to gain knowledge in the field of natural geohazards occurring during exploitations and to recognize techniques for their mitigation. The module concerns: - mining exploitation, - stress distributions around excavations, - methods of assessing the degree of seismic hazard in a mine, - mining tremors and rockburst, - rockburst prevention, - impact of vibrations on the surface, - continuous and discontinuous deformations occurring on the surface.
