Abstract
This extended abstract will concentrate on results of POHVA I which lasted from May 2005 to the end of 2007. POHVA I consisted of assessing the means and their reliability to measure subsurface conditions where water content distribution was the single most important factor. A model for transforming resistivities to water contents was established. During the project a new index testing method for soil stabilisation testing was developed and an extensive soil stabilisation database was constructed and based on this database statistical models for shear strength improvement to be obtained by given amount of binder in given environmental conditions was created.
