Department of geotechnology (O24)

Department 24 - illustration photo

This department deals mainly with issues of the earth body of transport structures (roads, railways). It focuses primarily on full-scale testing of constructions and materials (in real scale) and in situ (field tests). This department includes a fully equipped soil and geotechnical laboratory. For full-scale testing, a unique device called LGZP (Laboratory Geotechnical Testing Field) was designed and constructed in the Laboratory for Transport Infrastructure and the Environment, equipped with PneuTester – a device for static and cyclic loading tests.

This department is primarily devoted to the issue of assessing the effects of reinforcement with synthetic materials to bearing capacity of subgrades, it deals with an analysis of the ratio of the California bearing ratio and the modulus of deformation in the second cycle of loading of formation level soils in roads, or with earthwork monitoring (possibility of static and dynamic tests). It also addresses the issues of gabions – recommendation of their use for road constructions.

Chief manager: Ing. Petr Zedník
