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 ...

The article deals with the quantification of the Quaternary geological structure of a selected part of the Moravian-Silesian region for geotechnical purposes (Ostrava glacigenous basin). The geological structure was ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Correlations are very significant from earliest days, in some cases, it is essential as it is difficult to measure the amount directly, and in other cases, it is desirable to ascertain the results with other tests through ...

This paper presents a case study dealing with variations on the ground surface due to the underground mining activities in the Ostrava-Karvina Coal District (Czech Republic) over the last 25 years. During this period, some ...
