Learning outcomes of the course unit the subject deals with problems of water regime in subsoil, effects of freezing. Another area of interest is the stability of embankments and ditches, the possibility of mathematical modeling of this stability issue and the principles and methods of geotechnical monitoring in road construction.
- dynamic penetration
