Summary

The course focuses on the problems transport buildings a of line constructions. Emphasis will be placed on building of vehicular and rail traffic. It focuses on the following topics: Legislation for transport and line construction, standards, technical regulations Trace roads, horizontal and vertical design elements, transverse arrangement Natural body transport buildings, earthwork, embankment soil, soil-water system objects associated transport structures - walls, bridges, galleries Drainage buildings transport line, area, culverts Active area of roads, construction of roads and pavements Collecting and safety devices of roads, intersections Structural and geometric arrangement of tracks, spatial arrangement of the track Construction of the superstructure - the construction of tracks, switches Construction of roadbed, construction of railway facilities Railway stations and bus stops, railway stations, building Rail transport in the cities, construction of trails, building components, implementation Track work (classification, mechanization ...), technology, building and repair of railway. superstructure and substructure, the diagnosis of Railways Teaching in Czech language only.
