Engineering geological survey evaluation of area affected by lanslides in Budkovice
Prechtlová, Kateřina ; Paseka, Antonín (referee) ; Erbenová, Alexandra (advisor)
This Thesis deals with evaluation of engineer-geological survey of area affected by landslides near Budkovice. The area of interest is situated in the south part of Boskovická brázda on the left bank of the river Rokytná. The Thesis first outlines the problems of slope movements in general: why it’s appropriate to study them, what factors play role in their creation, what areas are prone to their creation, how to proceed with engineer-geological survey and how the slope stability is solved. Next itfocuses on the above mentioned landslide in village Budkovice. Geology and hydrogeology of the area of interest were studied. Carried out survey works were summarized. I became familiar with their results and outputs.Friction angle of the residual strength on the slip plane was calculated using Pettersson’s method, it’s value was 11,27°. Simple geological cuts though the slope area and calculation cut were made. Groundwater level was measured on the preserved drill holes and it was compared with former values.

Development and validation of a hypoplastic model for soft clays incorporating rate effects and strength anisotropy
Jerman, Jan ; Mašín, David (advisor) ; Blahůt, Jan (referee) ; Hrubešová, Eva (referee)
The thesis presents modelling framework for soft clays. Soft clays typically occur in marine environment, coastal areas and along rivers, soft clay deposits are also associated with the periglacial conditions. Soft clay seabeds are also prevalent in locations used as foundations of various energy sources (renewable and hydrocarbon). Growing world population increased demand for land, and this, consequently, leads to seaward land reclamation for urban development in coastal areas. Thus, construction on soft soil deposits has become increasingly important as soft clays occur in locations of construction projects for city infrastructure. The stress-strain behaviour of soils, especially clayey soils, is well-known to be rate- dependent. This fact is relevant for specific engineering projects, where the long-term performance of constructions is of interest. This is particularly important for soft clays as the very high degree of compressibility in primary compression and during creep makes rate-dependent soil behaviour an important factor for geotechnical problems. Moreover, the slow slope movements of slow-moving landslides and creeping slopes are controlled mostly by shear creep properties of the shear-zone soil and the effective stress state. Thus, for the case of creeping landslide modelling, a...

Slope stability of Jizera river valley slopes in Semily region
Kujan, Ondřej ; Novotný, Jan (advisor) ; Vybíral, Roman (referee)
The thesis deals with slope stability of a landslide "U Čtrnácti pomocníků", which is located in the north-eastern part of the city Semily in the Liberec district. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part was carried out literature search on the issue and the natural conditions around the wider area of interest. The practical part consists of individual sections within which the research were conducted archival documentation, mapping areas of interest, own technical work, sampling and geophysical measurements and laboratory work and stability calculations. Also the engineering geological model of the landslide was created. The results of the practical part are used as the basis for the final engineering geological evaluation of this area.

Slope deformations in the Bohemian Paradise - research, typology and conditions of origin
Merlíčková, Soňa ; Hartvich, Filip (advisor) ; Blahůt, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with occurrence, conditions and character of slope deformations in the Protected landscape area (CHKO) Český ráj. This area is typically formed by sandstones, marls and claystones. Together with tectonic structures and lateral erosion of the Jizera River, they form suitable conditions for slope movements such as rockfall, sliding etc. With help extensive use of the scientific literature, character of study area as well as general conditions for the development of slope movements were described, and their typological classification was established. Next part of the thesis includes the chapters on the methods of research, and a description of the preliminary field research of the model localities. Furthermore, an analysis of causes of the slope movements using the data on climate from the stations of Czech hydro-meteorological institute was performed. Finally, the results are discussed with the referenced sources and conclusions to the topic are formulated. Keywords: CHKO Český ráj, slope movements, slope deformations, tectonics, lateral erosion, land-slide, rockfall, Lužický fault

Quantitative vessel parameters of broadleaves as a tool for reconstruction of physical geographical processes
Tumajer, Jan
Trees adjust wood anatomical structure to environmental conditions, predisposing time series of quantitative wood anatomical parameters to be valuable source of palaeoenvironmental information. In this doctoral project we analysed the response of vessel parameters of i) floodplain Quercus robur to groundwater level fluctuation, hydroclimate variability and extreme events (droughts and floods), and of ii) Betula pendula to mechanical damage caused by various disturbances. Although climatic signal as well as pointer years stored in tree-ring width chronologies of Quercus robur largely differ between sites, quantitative vessel parameters contain spatially- homogenous positive signal of previous year summer temperature and current year winter/early spring temperature. The only between-site difference in wood anatomical chronologies is negative effect of moisture on vessel size in floodplain, which does not occur in not-flooded lowland sites. We suggest that while tree productivity benefits from high water availability, the wood anatomical structure of Quercus robur is constrained by high soil water saturation in floodplain zone. In addition, the response of tree-ring widths to moisture availability is not uniform inside single stand, but subgroups of trees with completely opposite response coexist...

Slope movement analysis in the northwestern part of the Příhrazská plošina platform and evaluation of sandstone properties relative to the stability situation
Vorlíček, Petr ; Blahůt, Jan (advisor) ; Vařilová, Zuzana (referee)
The Northwestern part of the Příhrazská platform is known for its processes, the first scientifically studied movement occurred here in 1926 and had catastrophic consequences. This work deals with the evaluation of the selected continuous slope movements in the north- western part of Příhrazská platform and builds on previous measurements. The measured movements are compared with meteorological data, with the surrounding hydrogeological borehole data, and compared with other monitoring site in the vicinity. In the second part, the work focuses on clarifying the problem of the increased susceptibility of the monitored rock tower for weathering and comparison of the properties of sandstone material from this tower with surrounding sandstones from the vicinity and other localities. Attention is especially paid to the influence of the biological crusts, whose significant influence is confirmed. For the investigation field and laboratory methods were used in combination with the use of computer programs.
