Road Construction Department

Road Department – Scientific-research work

The main directions of the research and research work of the Road Department are designing railways, including narrow-range railways, highways, aerodromes and artificial structures and creation of its normative-technical base for Georgia’s conditions; Elaboration of a standard-technical base for design, construction, arrangement and operation of ware structures. Establishment of bridges, tunnels and other buildings, testing of bridges and tunnels, designing bridges and other artificial structures, compiling normative documents and comparing them with European documents and expertise of artificial structures. Improve the properties of asphalt concrete mixtures using modified binders; Improvement of traffic-carrying transport characteristics using semi-rigid (climate) layers; Development of roadmap models for road geometric elements based on the study of automotive regimes in different road conditions; Development of methods of road transport and exploitation properties in complex natural conditions; Research of technical-economic and ecological problems of automation in direct connection of specific characteristics of the road network; Development of legislative and normative base in the areas of motor roads and road traffic, mandatory insurance and technical inspection; Improvement of the city’s infrastructure infrastructure by optimizing the network of filling stations; Influence of arrangement of bicycle road network on the motor motorway throughput, in difficult terrain conditions; Methods of scientific research to prove the modern normative base of transport infrastructure in the cities of Georgia.

Scientific works
