Coal and lignite regions are on the way to reinvent themselves. In this work, three aspects related reclamation exploitation of these mining areas analyzed, focusing role geotechnical engineering. Firstly, slope stability excavations is examined during water filling practice. Secondly, effect extreme rainfall studied abandoned mines. Finally, potential a waste dump by highway or railroad invest...

The aim of the study is to assess the evolving mine water quality of closed uranium mines (abandoned between 1958 and 1992) in the Czech Republic. This paper focuses on the changes in mine water quality over time and spatial variability. In 2010, systematic monitoring of mine water quality was performed at all available locations of previous uranium exploitation. Gravity flow discharges (mine a...

Abstract This study aims for the protection of a crude-oil pipeline, buried at shallow depth, against probable environmental hazard and pilferage. Both surface borehole geophysical techniques such as electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), ground penetrating radar (GPR), seismic refraction (SRT), cross-hole (CST) profiling (CSP) were used to map vulnerable zones. Data acquired using ERT, GPR S...
