On the first day, students will receive instruction in the BP rules and regulations regarding geodetic and cartographic works and accompanying activities.
Field exercises in geotechnics and geology EXERCISE PROGRAM
Field exercises in geology enable the acquisition of competences in the area of regional geological structure analysis,
with particular emphasis on research areas, as well as the ability to apply selected issues of mineralogy,
petrography and engineering geology for the needs of construction and road engineering.
Field exercises in geotechnics enable the acquisition of skills in the assessment of building subsoil, including:
• analysis of geotechnical conditions,
• isolation of geotechnical layers,
• determination of the type of soils that make up the building subsoil,
• qualitative and quantitative assessment of basic physical properties and geotechnical parameters of soils.
Design exercises are divided into field, laboratory and chamber work.
At each stage, students work in groups, using equipment issued to them or available in the laboratory,
referring to the comments and instructions of the instructors.
Field work includes:
• marking the boundaries of the research area,
• selecting research points,
• leveling the area,
• drilling 5 research points with a depth of approx. 5.0 m, together with macroscopic analysis
and taking NW and NU samples for laboratory tests,
• making a research excavation and taking NNS samples, testing the strength of the soil at the bottom of the excavation in situ using a rotary probe,
• marking the depth of the groundwater table,
• performing dynamic probing
Laboratory tests include:
• determining the natural humidity of the isolated geotechnical layers
• determining the liquidity and plasticity limits of selected cohesive soils
• performing oedometric and strength tests using a direct shear apparatus for isolated
geotechnical layers
• testing the sink rate in the case of macroporous soils.
The in-depth work includes:
• analysis and description of geological issues in relation to the research area,
• preparation of a map of the research area together with the location of research points,
• preparation of ready-made borehole cards,
• preparation of geotechnical cross-sections of the subsoil,
• preparation of laboratory test results together with a list of geotechnical parameters and physical properties of the isolated
layers,
• description of geotechnical conditions occurring in the subsoil at the location of field exercises, with particular emphasis on
presentation of the division of the subsoil into geotechnical layers, description of the separated layers and description of the water conditions occurring
in the subsoil,
• assumption of simple, complex and complicated conditions in the subsoil and proposing a geotechnical category for
the assumed type of structure
