The article deals with the geotechnical design and assessment of the foundation of a statically difficult bridge structure founded in complicated engineering geological conditions. Bridge structure No. 223 is part of the D3 motorway situated above the Hricov reservoir near the town of Zilina (Slovakia). The realized engineering geological survey showed that the geological composition of the subsoil is nonhomogeneous and complicated (occurrence of Quaternary soils and Mesozoic rocks). The physical and mechanical pr...

The paper analyses in detail size of vertical deformation (settlement) for various loading states that may occur during construction and operation of Hydropower Plant (HPP) in Gabcikovo. During construction and operation of the HPP complicated loading states were applied onto sealing elements of underground tank and subsoil of the HPP foundation. Geotechnical calculations, a total of fourth load states modelled, taking into account significant changes in the stress state and deformation in the subsoil and on the s...
