Learning objectives | ||||
Acquiring the necessary knowledge about the interaction of roads and materials on which, in which and from which roads are built. Introduction to the design, construction, maintenance and repair of the elements of the lower part of the roads (cut, embankment, protective and supporting structures). | ||||
Learning outcomes | ||||
The student is able to analyze the character of the subsoil and to provide a solution for its possible modification, as well as to dimension the construction of the cut and embankment of the road in different environmental conditions and traffic load. | ||||
Content | ||||
