Identification of the near-surface geological structure and deposits for land use planning purposes in the Doubrava Region (Czech Republic)
(GEOLOGICAL SOC INDIA, 2013)
The objective of this paper is to highlight the importance of taking engineering geological characteristics and structures into account in land use planning. There have been a number of studies worldwide dealing with this ...
Variations in the building site categories in the underground mining region of Doubrava (Czech Republic) for land use planning
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)
In terms of demands and needs of ground investigation and foundation engineering, the engineering-geological conditions in the underground mining territories represent anthropogenically influenced areas in the most complicated ...
A Study on the Performance of GPR for Detection of Different Types of Buried Objects
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)
The objective of this research is to evaluate the applicability of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) method to detect burried objects in the shallow depths using 250 MHz and 800 MHz center frequency antennas. For this purpose, ...
In-situ remediation of the contaminated soils in Ostrava city (Czech Republic) by steam curing/vapor
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2013)
This study deals with an application of vapor in the remediation of soils in an extensive part of the Ostrava city center (Czech Republic) needed to be decontaminated from abundant tar (wash oil). The source of contamination ...
Forecasting of natural gas consumption with neural network and neuro fuzzy system
(SILA SCIENCE, 2011)
The prediction of natural gas consumption is crucial for Turkey which follows foreign-dependent policy in point of providing natural gas and whose stock capacity is only 5% of internal total consumption. Prediction accuracy ...
Performance of Core Strangle Test (CST) on Porous Rocks
(SPRINGER, 2018)
The Core Strangle Test (CST) has been proposed in 2009 by author as an index test permitting indirect estimation of the Uniaxial Compressive Strength. In this test, load is applied through a circle perpendicular to the ...
Influence of underground mining activities on the slope deformation genesis: Doubrava Vrchovec, Doubrava Ujala and Staric case studies from Czech Republic
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2012)
One the most important manifestation of underground mining activities is its potential influence on the initiation and reactivation of the slope movements. However, an adequate attention has not yet been paid to these ...
Utilization of engineering geology in geo-tourism: few case studies of subsidence influence on historical churches in Ostrava-Karvina District (Czech Republic)
(SPRINGER, 2016)
This article studies a set of historical churches influenced by subsidence induced by underground coal mining in the Karvina part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin in the Czech Republic. The research made use of engineering ...
A small-scale map analysis of the engineering-geological zone and landscape element dependencies for the land-use planning purposes in the Czech Republic
(SPRINGER, 2019)
The aim of the article is to describe the connections among the engineering-geological zones and landscape elements on the level of a small-scale map analysis of a whole country. Next, it also brings quantified spatial ...
