Mechanical properties of basalt: a study on compressive loading at different strain rates using SHPB
Falta, J. ; Krčmářová, N. ; Fíla, T. ; Vavro, Martin ; Vavro, Leona
This article focuses on the mechanical properties of basalt in compressive loading at different strain-rates. The study employs advanced instrumentation for the evaluation of the results in dynamic conditions, while standard uni-axial loading device is used for evaluation in quasi-static conditions. Basalt specimens were subjected to four different loading-rates from 200–600 s−1 on which the stress-strain dependence was evaluated together with DIC analysis of crack initiation and disintegration process. Understanding the mechanical properties of basalt can provide insights for engineers and designers in creating structures that are durable and able to withstand different loading conditions. The findings of this study can have implications for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and construction, among others.

Risk Assessment on Geodiversity Sites
Kubalíková, Lucie ; Nováková, Eva ; Kuda, František ; Kirchner, Karel ; Bajer, A. ; Balková, M.
Geoconservation is an action of conserving and enhancing geological, geomorphological, hydrological and soil features and processes. Particular geoconservation measures are very often applied on the site-level to protect important geodiversity sites. Nevertheless, despite established legal protection and related geoconservation activities, threats to geodiversity sites related to the multiple use and human society demands can arise and reaching a compromise can be difficult. In this contribution, a two-level threat assessment is applied and discussed. The first level of threat assessment is based on the already used criteria within geosite/geomorphosite concept. The second level of threat assessment is represented by Risk Assessment Matrix, which may be considered a useful tool providing a complex view on the threats to geodiversity sites. The methods are applied on two different sites and their advantages and limits are discussed. Based on the assessment, specific management proposals may be implemented in order to balance conservation needs and demands resulting from human activities related to the sites.

Underground Spaces In Bosonožský Hájek Nature Reserve And Their Geoeducation Importance
Kirchner, Karel ; Kuda, František ; Baldík, V. ; Kubalíková, Lucie
Bosonožský hájek Natural Reserve (Brno, South Moravia) is a very important site from the Earth Science point of view, however, its geodiversity values have been rather overlooked and omitted in the past (the object of legal protection is the occurrence of well-preserved forest ecosystems and endangered species). In the last decades, a series of field work and geophysical measurements has been carried out and the Earth Science phenomena have been identified and described here. These are represented by a dense network of gullies that developed in Pleistocene loess and that are both of natural and anthropogenic origin (some gullies probably developed along the old paths) and specific underground spaces (so called dugouts). Until now, the dugouts in South Moravia have been investigated mainly by archaeologists and those in Bosonožský hájek NR have not been described in detail yet. This brief contribution brings new information about three underground landforms and their possible relationship to the age and development of the gullies. The possibility of different interpretations of the origin of these specific landforms can be considered an opportunity in the field of Earth Science (geosciences) education and as an interesting complement of tourist and recreational activities on site.

Interpretace regionálních zlomů v úrovni karbonského strukturního patra a zkušenosti s projevy napětí v jejich okolí využitelné pro oblast elektrárny Dětmarovice (EDĚ)
Waclawik, Petr ; Ptáček, Jiří ; Vavro, Martin
Odborného posouzení se zabývá interpretací zlomů regionálního významu, posouzení jejich možné recentní aktivity a shrnutí zkušeností s napěťovými projevy v okolí hlavních kerných zlomů při hornické činnosti OKR v úrovni karbonského strukturního patra. Výsledek posouzení bude využit pro posouzení možného tektonického vlivu těchto struktur v oblasti Elektrárny Dětmarovice zejména v souvislosti s prováděnými geofyzikálními pracemi. Interpretace regionálních zlomů je provedena na základě znalostí geologické stavby karbonského strukturního patra a na základě zkušeností s napěťovými a deformačními projevy při vedení důlních děl. Odborné posouzení zohledňuje strukturně-tektonický vývoj a dnešní tektonické poměry pánve, které jsou podmíněny celkovým deformačním vývojem variského orogénu. Součástí práce je i souhrn nám známých dostupných pramenů a podkladů, které by mohly být užitečné pro geologické posouzení podloží a posouzení možných vlivů indukované seismicity v zájmové oblasti elektrárny Dětmarovice.

Estimation of EDZ zones in great depths by elastic-plastic models
Sysala, Stanislav
This contribution is devoted to modeling damage zones caused by the excavation of tunnels and boreholes (EDZ zones) in connection with the issue of deep storage of spent nuclear fuel in crystalline rocks. In particular, elastic-plastic models with Mohr-Coulomb or Hoek-Brown yield criteria are considered. Selected details of the numerical solution to the corresponding problems are mentioned. Possibilities of elastic and elastic-plastic approaches are illustrated by a numerical example.
