Short description:	Practical classes in laboratory and numerical simulation in computer workroom. Experimental determining of strength coefficients and their usefulness for rock massifs classification and assessment of stress state. - determining of strain coefficients, - Review of basic knowledge on rocks, rock massifs with respect to studies of tectonophysics and in a determination of paleostress. - short description of rock behaviour under variable load and deformation, their differentiation with time under non homogeneous geological and engineering conditions - Presentation of physics-mechanical variability of rock properties with respect to petrophysics and tectonics.
Full description:	Presented topics: - basic terminology: stress and deformation state, long-lasting and catastrophic instant deformation processes - Application of elasticity, plastic and brittle fracturing theories in a description of rock deformation - Principles in determining of stress and deformation by the theory, in laboratory works, surface field works, well logging and the subterranean research laboratories URL) - Extent of recognition of rocky media – undisturbed rocks, and in jointed rock massifs. - Theories in recgnizing of rock destruction under compressive and tensile stress, and shearing. - Laboratory metods of testing rock strength and deformability properties, - nondestructive, and destructive, - monoaxial and triaxial compressive tests, and tensile and shearing tests - Laboratory testing samples under high temperature and preasure - The stress-strain criteria in a determination of deformation phases; the pre-, and postcritical states of deformation manifested in propagation of elastic waves - Anisotropy, orientation of fractures and structural variability of rocky media as determinants of non homogeneouity of rock deformation fields - Changes of rock strength under external impact of stress, temperature and active (aggressive) chemicals (chemical solutions) - Changes in stress and strain state of rocks according to depth, under natural conditions; determination of paleostress parameters.
