Gypsum collapse hazards and importance of hazard mapping
(SPRINGER, 2011)
Collapse in gypsum terrains is a serious geological hazard and can damage engineering structures, settlement areas, natural lakes, and allow infiltration of contaminants into the groundwater. Presentation of engineering ...
Unique documentation, analysis of origin and development of an undrained depression in a subsidence basin caused by underground coal mining (Kozinec, Czech Republic)
(SPRINGER, 2014)
This article aims to explain and demonstrate the origin and development of a subsidence basin caused by coal mining as well as to point out important aspects of this phenomenon in engineering geology. Engineering geology ...
Optimization of building site category determination in an undermined area prior to and after exhausting coal seams
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2012)

A case study for mapping of spatial distribution of free surface heave in alluvial soils (Yalova, Turkey) by using GIS software
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
A procedure for producing a surface heave map using GIS package in clayey alluvial soils is proposed. An active zone was first defined, and the layers in the active zone were subdivided according to their swelling ...
Multiple regression, ANN (RBF, MLP) and ANFIS models for prediction of swell potential of clayey soils
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011)
In the recent years, new techniques such as; artificial neural networks and fuzzy inference systems were employed for developing of the predictive models to estimate the needed parameters. Soft computing techniques are now ...
Utilization of ground subsidence caused by underground mining to produce a map of possible land-use areas for urban planning purposes
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2015)
The presented work deals with a new type of map titled-a map of a possible area use for planned built-up area purposes in areas affected by underground mining-related subsidence. Generally, accepted theory of a subsidence ...
On the Use of Conventional and Soft Computing Models for Prediction of Gross Calorific Value (GCV) of Coal
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2011)
Gross calorific value (GCV) is an important characteristic of coal and organic shale; the determination of GCV, however, is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive and is also a destructive analysis. In this article, the ...
Swell potential and shear strength estimation of clays
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
This paper deals with the indirect estimation of the two main parameters of cohesive soils (swell percent and shear strength) that play an important role in the deformation of structures. While the literature contains ...
A fuzzy classification routine for fine-grained soils
(GEOLOGICAL SOC PUBL HOUSE, 2016)
Soil classification is one of the most important stages in preliminary studies for design applications in geotechnical engineering. The classification of fine-grained soils is mostly determined using Casagrande's plasticity ...
Determination of actual limit angles to the surface and their comparison with the empirical values in the Upper Silesian Basin (Czech Republic)
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2012)
This study deals with the determination of the actual limit angles in the long-term formed subsidence basin in the Czech part of the Upper Silesian Basin (the remaining part lays in Poland). Here there was the most extensive ...
