Materials and technologies for the road and motorway construction. Getting knowledge about basic materials which are used in the road construction (soils, aggregates, asphalts etc.), their properties and quality demands. In connection with the material properties production and bulding-in technologies of particular construction layers of flexible and rigid pavements are going over, futher also test systems for quality control. Principles of the road dimensioning, design according to cataloog and with the computer porgramme LAYEPS. Road distresses and road material recycling technologies.
