“…The flow shop construction scheme is optimized by presenting an automatic flow shop construction scheme multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method, which integrates the data-driven D-AHP with an improved construction simulation of a high rockfill dam (CSHRD). Slobodan B. Mickovski in [16] analyzes theory, practice and applications concerning sustainable geotechnics. Environmental sciences are becoming more and more detailed and sophisticated, with the natural phenomena and processes surrounding the civil engineering infrastructure being modeled, designed, monitored, and assessed in a more holistic way.…”

The optimization of mechanized construction processes has a very important impact on economic and environmental sustainability. Our analyses evaluate key factors that affect the quality, environment, and economics of mechanized earth processes. This paper also presents approaches in this area in Slovakia and abroad, and existing mathematical models for the optimal design of earthmoving machinery. The main goals of our paper are the proposal of a method of machine selection for excavation including a multi-criteria optimization method with software support and application and verification of this method in a model example. A total of nine scientific methods applied in our paper are analyzed. The key results of the research work in terms of the set goals are given in the Conclusion, where the key research results are summarized. The results of the research work presented in the paper have a direct impact on economic and environmental sustainability, which can be achieved already in the phase of construction preparation. Applications of information technologies in multi-criteria optimization of the selection of construction machines for earth processes enables their use in the BIM (building information modeling) model.

“…These activities include, for example: (1) the use of alternative environmentally friendly materials in geotechnical constructions such as embankments, slopes, dams; (2) reuse of waste such as rubber tires, fly ash, natural or artificial fibers for improvement and stabilization; and (3) conscious design and modeling based on geotechnical parameters. For years, these issues have been widely discussed, analyzed, and practiced in geotechnical engineering [22,31,32,48,52], especially in transportation geotechnics [10,51]. Difficult and complicated geotechnical conditions are considered, e.g.…”

The use of waste materials (including rubber) in industry is one of the most important issues in terms of environmental protection. One of such applications is the use of soil–rubber mixtures in backfills or lower layers of embankments or road structures. The numerical analyses of the behavior of a clay–rubber mixture layer built into a road embankment are presented in this article. An elastic-perfectly plastic model with a Coulomb–Mohr yield surface was used in the finite element analysis. The parameters of soil–rubber mixtures adopted for the analysis were estimated on the basis of triaxial tests: monotonic (UU—unconsolidated undrained, and CU—consolidated undrained) and cyclic (CU) performed with low frequency (f = 0,001 Hz). The triaxial tests were carried out on mixtures of kaolin (K) and red clay (RC) with the addition of 1–5 mm rubber granulate (G) in the amount of 5–25% by weight. Numerical analyses included a static plate load test (VSS) of a layer made of a rubber–soil mixture built into the embankment and testing the stability of embankments using the c–ϕ strength reduction procedure. The results of laboratory tests confirm the necessity of testing soil–rubber mixtures each time before their use in embankments. The observed overall decrease in shear strength and stiffness of the tested material is variable and depends on the type of soil and the content of rubber waste. Satisfactory results of the analysis were obtained, both in terms of the values of layer stiffness modules and slope safety factors, which allows for the conclusion of the possibility of using soil–rubber mixtures (with the recommended granulate addition up to 30% by weight) in the layers of road embankments and (depending on the road class) in the lower layers of the pavement structure.
