Deformation of slopes as a cause of underground mining activities: three case studies from Ostrava-Karvina coal field (Czech Republic)
(SPRINGER, 2012)
Underground mining activities may potentially play a role on the initiation and reactivation of the slope movements. However, an adequate attention has not yet been paid to these problems; in this study, the possible ...
GIS-based kinematic slope instability and slope mass rating (SMR) maps: application to a railway route in Sivas (Turkey)
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2012)
The paper discusses the use of kinematic stability and slope mass rating (SMR) maps in GIS based on field studies recording the relationships between the bedding/joint geometry relative to the orientation of the free face. ...
Subsidence measurements in roads and implementation in land use plan optimisation in areas affected by deep coal mining
(SPRINGER, 2016)
This paper presents a study of 12-year monitoring of ground subsidence along a selected road affected by subsidences trough induced by underground black coal mining in the largest mining district in the Czech Republic. The ...
Evaluation of engineering-geological conditions for conurbation of Ostrava (Czech Republic) within GIS environment
(SPRINGER, 2012)
The main aim of the presented study was to create a new type of engineering-geological maps for relative costs for foundation engineering. The newly proposed map in this paper can replace the formerly used maps of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
