Summary

The course focuses on the problems transport buildings a of line constructions. Emphasis will be placed on building of vehicular and rail traffic. It focuses on the following topics:
Legislation for transport and line construction, standards, technical regulations
Trace roads, horizontal and vertical design elements, transverse arrangement
Natural body transport buildings, earthwork, embankment soil, soil-water system objects associated transport structures - walls, bridges, galleries
Drainage buildings transport line, area, culverts
Active area of roads, construction of roads and pavements
Collecting and safety devices of roads, intersections
Structural and geometric arrangement of tracks, spatial arrangement of the track
Construction of the superstructure - the construction of tracks, switches
Construction of roadbed, construction of railway facilities
Railway stations and bus stops, railway stations, building
Rail transport in the cities, construction of trails, building components, implementation
Track work (classification, mechanization ...), technology, building and repair of railway. superstructure and substructure, the diagnosis of Railways
Teaching in Czech language only.
