The aim of the thesis is to determine the levels of the physical and mechanical properties of chosen sedimentary (siliciclastic) rocks and also to describe their microstructural nature. With respect to the intended use of the studied material (building stone raw material) the laboratory testing methods are presented. The samples were taken from the drill cores and also from the surface blocks in locality "Zlatý lom" Březín situated in western Bohemia. The microstructural phenomena in the samples were studied using optical microscopy and digital image analyses. According to Folk's classification (1980) the name of the rock was lithic arkose. The strength testing methods were represented by unconfined compressive strength and the Brazilian test. The rest of the mechanical parameters were determined in form of Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio. Special emphasis was given to the hydric expansion (after full immersion) test. The other physical methods were used in order to describe the pore space and real density of samples. For this purposes the absorption test, mercury intrusion porosimetry and helium pycnometry were performed. Besides the porosity value, the pore-size distribution histograms were obtained. In order to calculate the theoretical density of the rock MINLITH and MODES...
