Investigation of soil conditions in a selected section of a railway cut as a basis for designing geoengineering works to improve their geotechnical parameters
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2024) Toczek, Przemysław; Kowalski, Tomasz Wojciech; Skrzypaszek, Krzysztof; Cały, Cezary
One approach to enabling construction, engineering, and mining activities in subsoil with insufficient geo-mechanical properties is to employ innovative methods and technologies. These can effectively modify the physical and mechanical characteristics of the subsoil. The article explores engineering techniques that can enhance the geotechnical properties of soils in locations where they exhibit dysfunctions, such as reduced stability and bearing capacity. Additionally, the paper emphasizes the importance of conducting specific geo-engineering tests to accurately assess the geotechnical conditions. The research directly evaluates the stability of a railway section within the Western Carpathians and presents findings from both field and laboratory tests. Given the instability observed in this section, there is a pressing need for geo-engineering reinforcement measures. These efforts aim to enhance the geotechnical properties and safeguard the railway embankment from potential landslides. Detailed accounts of these remedial works will be the focus of a subsequent study.

Kierunki rozwoju metod geoinżynieryjnych
(2005) Stryczek, Stanisław; Gonet, Andrzej; Wiśniowski, Rafał
Since the beginning of the 20th century the economic development has been related with the constantly increasing need for information and power sources, stimulating at the same time higher demands in the communal sector. These needs determine the necessity to develop and modernize geoengineering methods as well. Technical advancement enabled elaboration of new technologies, being an alternative for the traditional methods used so far. Deficiency of areas that would be geomechanically suitable for the construction of new building and engineering objects and the high costs of deep foundations spurred the idea of searching new, cheaper and more efficient methods of reinforcing and sealing ground and rock mass. The directions and scope of applied geoengineering methods are presented in view of various engineering activities to be undertaken.

Stan aktualny i przyszłość metod geoinżynieryjnych
(2005) Stryczek, Stanisław
A division of geoengineering methods has been proposed, accounting for geotechnics, geomechanics and engineering geology, in their broadest sense. Geoengineering started to develop in new, unknown domains, i.e.: civil engineering, environmental engineering, mining construction, trenchless construction, hydrotechnical construction, surface earthworks. One may risk a conclusion that geoengineering is going to grow in power in the coming decades. Therefore, it is vital to develop researches in this respect and also educate future geoengineers who could undertake this challenge. It should be born in mind that unprofessional staff, erroneous projects and badly done surface and underground works may result in grand catastrophes of unpredictable scale.
