Description: 
The Institute has used radioactive isotopes for the determination 
of the structure of porous media, determination of the bound-water content: 
in peat, and studying the process of mixing peat. An apparatus for the 
determination of the maximum shearing stress and the coefficients of lateral 
pressure of plastic materials, including peat, has been developed. The be- 
havior of beams of rectangular, triangular, and I cross section in pure and 
restrained twisting has been studied. Calculations have been made on asym- 
metrically loaded circular plates, ad the bending of thin round plates has 
been studied. 
A Trudy was published in 1957 and Candidate’s Degrees are granted. 
The courses available at the Institute include exploration of peat deposits, 
exploitation of peat deposits, machine building, metal-cutting tools, and 
instruments, peat-mining machinery, fuel technology, and operation and 
exploitation of railroads.
