DC Resistivity Studies of Shallow Geology in the Vicinity of Vistula River Flood Bank in Czernichów Village (Near Kraków in Poland)

Abstract

DC resistivity methods, soundings and Electrical Resistivity Tomography, were applied to study shallow geology in the place of planned construction of an experimental flood bank. The geoelectrical surveys provided quantitative information about the spatial presence of the various geoelectrical/geological layers: alluvial soils, sands, gravels and clays. ERT allowed maps to be constructed showing subsurface structure. A combination of geoelectrical and geological information resulted in a much better identification of the geological structure.

Numerical simulation of pore pressure changes in levee under flood conditions

“…The subsoil is formed of silty clay and clayey sand, sands and gravels. Ground-water conditions were identified by boreholes and dynamic and static sounding [13]. The levee in contact with subsoil was isolated by impermeable bentomate.…”

Random Set Method Application to Flood Embankment Stability Modelling

“…Two intervals of parameters were determined independently. The first set was determined from experimental investigation (Mo cicki,Bania, wiklik, & Borecka, 2014; ISMOP, 2013 ISMOP, -2016The second was assumed according to previous experience and literature research (expert knowledge)(Pieta, Bala, Dwornik, & Krawiec, 2014).…”

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and sedimentological analysis applied to investigation of Upper Jurassic limestones from the Krzeszowice Graben (Kraków Upland, southern Poland)

“…Be cause of this, ERT has been suc cess fully in tegrated, in par tic u lar, in sedimentological stud ies in ge ol ogy (see e.g., Hirsh et al, 2008;Šilhán and Pánek, 2010;Pellicer and Gib son, 2011;AEwiklik, 2013;Mooecicki et al, 2014;Koz³owska et al, 2016).…”
