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.

Dubičná landslide - engineering geological mapping and Atterberg limits
Vavřich, Lukáš ; Jerman, Jan (advisor) ; Routner, Martina (referee)
This bachelor's thesis addresses the issue of slope deformations in the České Středohoří region and closely examines the landslide at the Dubičná site. In the late 1960s, significant slope deformations occurred here, endangering a railway embankment and the road beneath it. The landslide is situated in a geologically complex terrain where manifestations of Tertiary volcanism intersect with sediments from the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin. Due to the geological history, the broader vicinity of the studied area features numerous slope deformations with the potential to cause property damage and threaten human lives. Detailed field mapping was conducted in the landslide-prone area, resulting in the creation of an engineering-geological map of stability conditions. This map, utilizing modern remote sensing technologies, intricately depicts the progression, morphology, and shape of the landslide. Soil samples were also collected, and following prescribed laboratory procedures, their index properties were measured, including liquid limit and plastic limit moisture content. Based on the results of these measurements, the presence of a deformation zone within the landslide was estimated to be at a depth of approximately 5.5 meters.

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.

Changes in the fluvial valley network at NW Šumava foothills
Hošek, Roman ; Hartvich, Filip (advisor) ; Borská, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the processes causing the changes of the river network. Among the most important processes are tectonics, landslides, headward and lateral erosion, anthropogenic activities, lithology of a stream bed, changes of the erosion base and climate, as a factor influencing the morphology of valleys. The information from the literature search is applied on finding potential valley network changes localities based on indicators of changes of the river network, which were analysed in the GIS environment. Each potential locality was chosen for a presence of an indicator, which may signify changes of the river network: sudden direction changes of a stream, wind gap, streams which flow through topographic barrier, captured stream. The main criterion for finding potential localities was elevation above the valley-floor interpolated surface, where low values indicate low water divide between valleys. These selected localities were compared with the position of the anomalies on the longitudinal profiles of the rivers. The longitudinal profiles with sudden changes of inclination (knickpoint) indicate possible changes of the river network. Key words: changes of the river network, headward erosion, lateral erosion, river piracy, landslides, tectonics, anthropogenic activities, Šumava...

The optimization of forest management strategies on slopes affected by landslides and rock falling – a methodology for forest-planting practices
Bajer, A. ; Balková, M. ; Buček, A. ; Divíšek, Jan ; Friedl, M. ; Halas, Petr ; Kirchner, Karel ; Kuda, František ; Lacina, Jan ; Martiník, A. ; Roštínský, Pavel ; Simon, J. ; Vavříček, D.
Landslides, as well as rock falling, are among natural disturbances, the origin of which the forest management has only a secondary influence. On the other hand, adequate management can reduce the risk of landslides (rock falling). In some specific cases, it can be expected that this management can also prevent origin of landslides. The basic recommendation in the area of forest cultivation in areas affected by landslides is the creation of forest stands of species, age and thickness (height) differentiated, with a small-scale texture. In some cases it is also possible to recommend the shape of the associated forest. Consistent management of the forest transport network must be an integral part of measures in risk areas.

Landslide susceptibility analysis of Czechia
Racek, Ondřej ; Blahůt, Jan (advisor) ; Klimeš, Jan (referee)
In geosciences modelling is rather quickly developing discipline. Statistical modelling of landslide susceptibility is relatively more traditional approach. Nevertheless, more complicated statistical methods are being developed and applied on larger areas. This development is caused especially by increasing computational capacity and software. This diploma thesis summarises existing statistical landslide susceptibility modelling approaches. In the following part, several landslide susceptibility models were created for the area of Czechia. These models were created using logistic regression, naive Bayes and artificial neural network (ANN). Additionally, two more models were created using expert driven approach. All models were made using thirteen conditioning factors, i.e.elevation, slope, engineering geological regions, climatic areas, mean annual precipitation, topographic wetness index (TWI), aspect, orogenetic class, distance from confirmed fault, distance from watercourse, internal relief, land cover and slope shape. Models driven by statistical approach were created using Orange software. Landslide inventories that were used for construction of all models are based on two databases: "Registr svahových nestabilit" and "Registr sesuvů-Geofond". Using validation by SRC, PRC and ROC curves...

The analysis of precipitation thresholds on landslides
Procházková, Kateřina ; Vilímek, Vít (advisor) ; Smolíková, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyzes the possibilities of several models that serve to find treshold values of rainfall to trigger landslides. It first describes these models and then tries to compare and apply them. It sorts the models both by the principle of their method of computation and by destination of use. The thesis also examines existing data from Jizerské hory. Model FLaIR is used for this research and the computed results are then compared with those taken from model API and with a display of hourly rainfall (derived from the same data set). Lastly, the thesis examines whether it is possible to use FLaIR model to find an accurate treshold value of rainfall that would serve as a trigger for a landslide. It comes to an end that it is not possible given available information. Keywords: landslides, rainfall thresholds, FLaIR model, API
