Detailed Information on Publication Record

Proposal soil characteristics represent the most important physical-mechanical parameters for foundation engineering purposes. At present, there are a number of databases produced by the Czech Geological Survey, which building companies use free of charge. Further to the existing data, the databases could be completed with the proposal soil characteristics that would provide free information on the benchmark characteristics of different foundation soils in a modern, fast and easy manner, and thus facilitated its preliminary assessment. In the future, such data could be interconnected with the database information on borehole exploration, slope instabilities, information on the area geology, etc., on the basis of which could be generated a complex preliminary assessment report whether a locality is suitable for foundation engineering purposes. This would render a fast and easy orientation in the given locality even before the survey itself and would be completely free of charge.
