Theconstant development of large urban centres such as Kraków causes a demand for residential and industrial space, which is difficult to meet. This forces the necessity to implement further construction investments in difficult soil and water conditions. Due to the limitations resulting from the relatively small area possible for development, mult...

The slopes of open-pit mines are often at risk of failure. To identify this hazard, stability analyses are performed. An important element of these stability analyses is the reliable selection of input parameter values for the calculations. This selection is difficult because the slopes of the open pit are disturbed by mining activities. In such co...

Analiza prawdopodobieństwa wystąpienia osuwiska w Czernej, na podstawie wyników numerycznych analiz stateczności

Loess constitutes a building site for over 6% area of Poland. Almost the entire area of its occurrence undergoes construction development. In the event of their sudden irrigation, a rapid reduction in the volume of the soil occurs. This process is known as hydrocompression. It is particularly dangerous in urban areas, where there is bulk land next...

Numerical simulation of landslide stability in geological-engineering conditions of Carpathian foredeep

The article discusses the potential for using numerical simulation to assess the development of deformation and pore pressure changes in a levee as a result of the increase and decrease of the flood wave. The simulation made in FLAC 2D did not take into account the filter-erosion deformation associated with seepage in the levee. The simulations wer...

Mass movements are a major problem associated with the sustainable planning of space. They often cause permanent degradation of the areas of development or agricultural use. Exclusion ofactive landslides and periodically active landslides from development area is obvious. Restrictions on land use areas of active and inactive landslides and their bu...

The article presents results of tests of shear strength for 215 samples collected from formations including zones of landslide hazards in the ground of "Turow" and "Belchatow" brown coal mine. The relationships between the geological structure of the overlay, genesis, geological-engineering properties, and factors influencing formation of landslide...

Examination of the landslide in Kłodne was carried out in 2013 and 2014. The work was divided into two parts: geological engineering investigations (mapping of the external borders of the landslide) and geodetic surveying (photogrammetric studies and monitoring of surface movements). The boundaries of the landslide were marked using a Garmin eTrex...

On the basis of research and performed numerical stability analysis of two landslides, authors present issue of mass movement activated as a result of dump soils formation.The problem disscussed concern of dump soils used to build uncontrollable embankments, compensating ground surface or activate mass movement on relatively stabilized landslides a...

The article presents the results of the research which was carried out on 74 landslides in southern Poland. The landslides generated or reactivated after a rainfall in 2010. Most landslides caused significant losses in residential buildings and infrastructure, which in case of further development and no appropriate countermeasures, may cause seriou...
