Influence of water content on the strength and deformability of gypsum
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
…
On the value of dolines in gypsum terrains as a "Geological Heritage": an example from Sivas basin, Turkey
(SPRINGER, 2012)
Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually limestone and evaporites. Karstification in the Sivas basin (Turkey) has sculpted a beautiful landscape with a ...
Monitoring and analysis of burning in coal tailing dumps: a case study from the Czech Republic
(SPRINGER, 2015)
The tailings are significant geological environments in mining and industrial regions. They represent special engineering-geological zones of anthropogenic sediments that require specific engineering-geological investigation. ...
An indicative method for determination of the most hazardous changes in slopes of the subsidence basins in underground coal mining area in Ostrava (Czech Republic)
(SPRINGER, 2013)
Considering growing population and decreasing mineral resource reserves, the issue of undermining has been and shall remain very topical. This study aims to identify the mutual connections between mined out panels of a ...
Heat contamination in groundwater sourced from heat pump for heating in Bratislava (Slovakia)'s historic centre
(SPRINGER, 2018)
The aim of the study is to evaluate the warming effect (thermal contamination) of city centres with high building density. This phenomenon has a number of scientific and practical implications. The case study was conducted ...
Application of the Engineering-Geological Conditions in Land-Use Plans in the Petrvald Region (Czech Republic)
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013)
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate necessity to inform relevant parties about engineering-geological conditions for various practical purposes, especially including appropriate land-use planning. However, the ...
Utilization of an underground mining evaluation map incorporating the effect of landslides and surface flooding for land-use purpose
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2014)
A number of problems related to land use and foundations of new structures are encountered in underground mining areas. Potential suitability and/or unsuitability of lands for new structures must be considered in areas ...
Landslide hazard and risk assessment: a case study from the Hlohovec-Sered' landslide area in south-west Slovakia
(SPRINGER, 2012)
Landslide hazard or susceptibility assessment is based on the selection of relevant factors which play a role on the slope instability, and it is assumed that landslides will occur at similar conditions to those in the ...
The effect of different types of water on the swelling behaviour of expansive clays
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2014)
In the design of foundations of structures, especially light buildings, on clayey soils, the main soil behaviours to be considered are swelling properties and surface heave. Therefore, determination of swelling properties ...
A small-scale landslide susceptibility assessment for the territory of Western Carpathians
(SPRINGER, 2013)
This study presented herein compares the bivariate and multivariate landslide susceptibility mapping methods and presents the landslide susceptibility map of the territory of Western Carpathians in small scale. This study ...
