Summary: Project deals with the engineering-geological, physical, mechanical and chemical characteristics of rocks in karst and flysch terrains. The objective to be achieved by these investigations is to develop the methodology which will in an optimal and efficient way suggest an investigation scheme for different phases of highway design and construction as it is a complex engineering task. Rock mechanics, which is a specific disciplinee in the field of engineering, will be applied together with the results of engineering-geological investigations, because it is necessary to adopt an inteer disciplinary approach in all phases of investigation, design and implementation. The work will be carried out in the offices, laboratories and in the field.

Keywords: methodology, geotechnical investigations, highways, karst, flysch

Research goals: The aim, of the suggested research, is to develop the strategies, indicating the research method depending on engineering geological and hydrogeological characteristics of the terrain, in order to accomplish all relevant data for designing and carryng out the work on the slopes of cuts and fractures, tunnels and foundations of freeway, bridges and by-passes. The suggested research contributes to the improvement of the research of engineering geological characteristics of the rocks, needed for the road building especially from the point of view of the integrations of the civil engineering subject matter - the mechanics of the rocks - in applied geology.
