Abstract
The Ploče by-pass road will be constructed partly in limestones and partly in clayey-silty-sandy sediments. In order to obtain reliable data for purposes of safe foundation technique for the road and respective structures, field and laboratory investigations were performed. The results are given in this paper. The limestnes were classified based on Geological Strength Index (GSI) while properties of clayey-silty-sandy sediments were determined in the laboratory. The obtained results were used as a bas for geostatic calculations by a numerical model and for the design of foundations.
