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 ...
Use of the core strangle test for determining strength anisotropy of rocks
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2014)
The usefulness of the core strangle test (CST) in determination of strength anisotropy and its accuracy compared with other indirect methods is evaluated. As a result of this study, higher accuracy was obtained, and CST ...
Rock mass parameters based doline susceptibility mapping in gypsum terrain
(GEOLOGICAL SOC PUBL HOUSE, 2015)
Rock in nature is observed as a rock mass that is a discontinuous medium with features including joints, faults, fissures, fractures and bedding planes. Interaction of the intact rock blocks with the discontinuities mainly ...
Potential pollution risk in natural environment of golf courses: an example from Rusovce (Slovakia)
(SPRINGER, 2014)
The objective of the article presented herein is to highlight the specific issue of the protection of water sources in the vicinity of golf courses. Currently we have experienced the construction of a large number of golf ...
Gypsum: An additive for stabilization of swelling clay soils
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
Low rise buildings are particularly vulnerable to ground movements sourced from swelling and shrinking of the expansive clay soils. Geotechnical engineers have long recognized that swelling of expansive clays caused by ...
