Region of West Carpathians Mountains is the territory, where app. 5.25% of total area of coverage are landslides. Therefore our re search team has started implementation of TDR technology (Time Domain Reflectometry) for measurement of slope underground movements. However this technology offers implementation for a variety of uses. Continuing development of monitoring usin g this method of measurement has been implemented in one selected locality where new national road was built across the existing landslide. In t...

The paper deals with some factors influencin g the values of sandy soils shear strength parameters, obtained by direct shear test (DST). Influences of density, shear area changing and number of specimens on the test result of clayey sand (SC) and sand with some fines (S-F) are examined. Influences of the density on the values of sandy soils shear strength parameters will be introduced in the paper by the tests with density index 6 . 0 ; 3 . 0=DI and 0.9. Influences of the shear area changing on the values of sandy...
