    The paper presents the results of research made on the influence of diesel-oil soil contamination on one of the main soil shear resistance parameters - an effective angle of internal friction (psi') - and, as a result, on subsoil bearing capacity. Laboratory studies have been performed on the fluvial sand samples, drawn from the quaternary sediments of higher terrace of Wisła valley in the Kraków area. The data that have been gathered allowed to derive a linear dependence of the effective angle of friction on the oil contamination content in medium sands. The results of calculations of the subsoil resistance caused by the oil contamination have been presented.
