Geotechnical evaluation of the subsoil by cone penetration test in the village of Podhorie

In today’s world, where people are building more and more, it is very important in civil engineering to properly investigate the geotechnical parameter of soils. Whether it concerns infrastructure, industrial or family buildings. Building land is declining in ideal conditions and practically only land with worse conditions remains, for example, land on slopes. Conventional nuclear drilling and soil sampling and subsequent testing in the laboratory are often time-consuming. To save time, we can use field tests and on-site tests. One of the field geotechnical tests is also a cone penetration test. We can examine not only the interfaces of the layers but also the geotechnical properties of the soils with a cone penetration test. A steep slope in the village of Podhorie in the Žilina District was investigated by a cone penetration test. A partially basement family house will stand on the slope.
