Supervisor:

Centre of Experimental Geotechnics

Synopsis:

A course dealing with practical exercise on geotechnical tests in laboratory and in-situ activities (The Josef underground laboratory, http://ceg.fsv.cvut.cz). It focuses on laboratory determination of soil and rock parametres neccessary for geotechnical calculations and design - basic physical and hydrophysical properties, strength and deformation parametres.

Requirements:

No prerequisites

Syllabus of lectures:

none

Syllabus of tutorials:

- Introduction, laboratory equipments, safety rules in laboratory, course works systém

- Densities, determination of degree of saturation

- Particle size distribution: sieve analysis, sedimentary method

- Atterberg limits: liquid limit - cone and Cassagrande method, plasticity limit

- Proctor standard test

- Deformation and strength characteristics: oedometric modulus, compressibility, uniaxial strength

- Shear parametres, permeability

- Hydrophysical properties: water absorptivity, capilarity, swelling, swell index

- Strength parametres: tension, tension under bending, shear, axiator tests, triaxial test

- Strain, stress detection - laboratory, in-situ, thermometers, instrumentation (the Josef underground facility)

Study Objective:

Understanding and practical application of key principles and procedures of laboratory tests in soil and rock mechanics (incl.sampling). Getting of basic routine in the laboratory works.
