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 ...
Differences in the geotechnical properties of two types of gypsum: alabastrine and porphyritic
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2007)
This study reports an investigation into the physical and mechanical characteristics of fine-grained (alabastrine) and coarse-grained (porphyritic) gypsum from Sivas, Turkey. The geotechnical properties improved as the ...
MORPHOLOGICAL VARIATIONS IN SUBSIDENCE BASIN AND IMPORTANCE FOR LAND USE PLANNING: UNDERMINED KARVINA REGION (CZECH REPUBLIC)
(NORTH UNIV BAIA MARE, 2014)
The study area has been greatly affected by mining activities and other anthropogenic activities since it falls within the so-called Ostrava-Karvina Coal District. Morphological variations in time by temporal variations ...
Underground mining hazard map including building site categories in an area affected by underground mining activities
(SPRINGER, 2014)
The objective of the paper is generation of an underground mining hazard map. The method applied to create the map is based on five categories of areas with different characters of underground mining influence making use ...
Effect of surface void percentage (SVP) on the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of porous rocks
(GEOLOGICAL SOC PUBL HOUSE, 2018)
In this paper, the effect of areal void size on unconfined compressive strength (UCS) depending on the core diameter is investigated and discussed in terms of obtaining more accurate and reliable strength values relating ...
Morphometric and geological features of karstic depressions in gypsum (Sivas, Turkey)
(SPRINGER, 2016)
Gypsum covers an area of approximately 5 % in Turkey and is mainly found in Sivas basin. Gypsum in the Sivas basin includes many karst structures with various sizes and has a variety of forms that present different conditions ...
Properties of the Loess Sediments in Ostrava Region (Czech Republic) and Comparison with Some Other Loess Sediments
(HINDAWI PUBLISHING CORPORATION, 2013)
This study deals with a methodical identification and evaluation of physical-mechanical properties of one genetic type of geological structure. This is represented by an engineering-geological zone of eolian sediments, ...
Monitoring of heat transmission from buildings into geological environment and evaluation of soil deformation consequences in foundation engineering
(SPRINGER, 2014)
In engineering geology a number of factors affecting foundation conditions are taken into consideration during engineering-geological investigations. This article deals with the factor of heat sourced from a structure ...
A Novel Hybrid Approach Based on Instance Based Learning Classifier and Rotation Forest Ensemble for Spatial Prediction of Rainfall-Induced Shallow Landslides Using GIS
(MDPI, 2017)
This study proposes a novel hybrid machine learning approach for modeling of rainfall-induced shallow landslides. The proposed approach is a combination of an instance-based learning algorithm (k-NN) and Rotation Forest ...
A case study assessing thermal activity at a significant geotourism locality of Ema coal tailing dumps in the mining landscape of Ostrava, Czech Republic
(GEOLOGICAL SOC PUBL HOUSE, 2017)
The study focuses on the assessment of surface area thermal activity measured by air thermal photography at the significant geotourism locality of Ema coal tailing dumps. Ema has become a geotourism post-mining landmark ...
