Soils
The Department of Ecology and Subgrade carries out scientific developments in the following areas:
- expert assessment of the quality of the built foundation;
- determination of physical and mechanical properties of soils (grading, natural soil moisture, flow limit, rolling limit, soil density, optimum moisture and maximum density, swelling and shrink of clay soils);
- determination of the suitability of the soil for arranging the subgrade of highways;
- measurements of soil resistance indicators by dynamic probing method to assess the state of the already arranged foundation of the road structure;
- quality control of soil compaction basis on the express methods;
- definition of the deflection module of the foundation of the road structure;
- providing conclusions on the bearing capacity of the subgrade.
