The paper presents geological and engineering geological characteristics of the flysch in outlined area which is expected to have a lot of similarities with very well defined and investigated flysch deposits in Split.The investigated area belongs to the ...

This paper discusses the relative advantages and disadvantages in the application of the cone penetration test to geotechnical site characterization in karst. It presents cone penetration test data collected at two project sites in deeply weathered, clay-mantled ...

<p>The intact rock strength of a rock mass has been determined by several different means in the context of research for slope stability assessment. The intact rock strength was determined with unconfined compressive strength testing, Schmidt hammer, Equotip, ...

An engineering geological assessment with respect to the TBM excavation, within a highly heterogeneous system of formations known as the "Athens Schist" is presented. The method considers mainly the rock mass competence on the basis of criteria related to ...

This paper is about a highly tectonized contact between serpentinite and younger pegmatite in the magnesite mine of Wiry that contains various layer silicates.
