The Josef Underground Educational Facility - a New Training Opportunity for Students of Geotechnics
Original language description
The Josef Gallery, located in central Bohemia, Czech Republic, was excavated in 1981 as an exploration complex for the potential mining of gold. In 2007 the gallery was converted into a unique Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU in Prague) facilitythe main role of which is to provide an opportunity for practical education and research in the fields of underground structures, geotechnics, surveying and geology. Both the Centre of Experimental Geotechnics (CEG) geotechnical laboratory and the extensive underground tunnel network with widely varying geological conditions provide an ideal environment for practical training. Moreover, the broad range of research-oriented activities on offer provides a host of opportunities for students to be introduced to real problems in-situ, new methods, materials and technologies. This paper provides a detailed description of the facility, the studies currently underway at CTU in Prague as well as an outline of the activities of the Josef UEF.
