This article presents the history of identifying the causes of emergency threats and the repair of a section of the railway line within the Wolin National Park. The author focuses on issues related to the legal aspects of environmental protection in a specially protected area that arose during the design and execution of repair works on the railway infrastructure. Numerous meetings between the Management of the Railway Line Department in Szczecin and the Management of the Wolin National Park, with both sides fully understanding the essence of technical and environmental problems of the project, led to a consensus. The scope and method of repair were established, allowing the minimization of the negative impact of the investment process on the park’s natural and environmental values while ensuring the safety of train traffic. Despite the typical and straightforward nature of the repair task, due to environmental protection constraints, non-standard construction problems were encountered, which consequently increased costs and extended the construction time.

W artykule przedstawiono historię ustalenia przyczyn zagrożenia awaryjnego i naprawy odcinka linii kolejowej w obrębie Wolińskiego Parku Narodowego. Autor skoncentrował się na problemach związanych z prawnymi aspektami ochrony środowiska przyrodniczego na terenie obszaru szczególnie chronionego, które wystąpiły w trakcie projektowania, jak i wykonywania budowanych robót naprawczych kolejowej infrastruktury komunikacyjnej. Liczne spotkania pomiędzy Dyrekcją Zakładu Linii Kolejowych w Szczecinie a Dyrekcją Wolińskiego Parku Narodowego, przy pełnym zrozumieniu przez obie strony istoty problemów technicznych i środowiskowych przedsięwzięcia, doprowadziły do uzyskania konsensusu. Ustalono zakres i sposób naprawy, który pozwolił na zminimalizowanie negatywnego oddziaływania procesu inwestycyjnego na walory przyrodnicze i środowiskowe parku przy zapewnieniu bezpieczeństwa ruchu pociągów. Mimo typowego i prostego w realizacji zadania przy wykonaniu naprawy, ze względu na obostrzenia wynikające z ochrony środowiska przyrodniczego, natrafiono na niestandardowe problemy budowlane. W konsekwencji wpłynęło to na wzrost kosztów oraz wydłużenie czasu realizacji robót budowlanych.

The article presents the results of the study of the stability of the reinforced ash-storage embankment (ASE) of a functioning metallurgical plant. The purpose of the tests was to determine the numerical modelling correction factors based on the model test results. The model tests were performed at a scale of 1:30 to the full-scale embankment. The numerical modelling was a simulation of model testing in two tasks. The first task considered the simulation of model testing on a reduced scale (relative to ASE) of a real sheet, using the characteristics of an equivalent material. The second task considered the simulation of ash-and-slag mixtures on an in situ scale with real characteristics but under the conditions of the model tests. The quantitative assessment of each of the research methods, as well as the identified regularities of the stress-strain states of reinforced and unreinforced embankment, are presented in the article. Based on the results of the studies, a method of stability assessment by numerical modelling was obtained, the results of which reflect the most reliable condition of the stress-strain state of the reinforced embankment (since the results are subject to adjustment based on the regularities of the model, although still in situ tests).

The present paper introduces a new method for cardiac frequency estimation directly from the positions of R peaks, this work aims to present and interpret a novel method based on the slope of the curve that reproduces the positions of the R peaks versus their respective indices, which is used to assess differences in RR time series dynamics in patients during ventricular fibrillation. The goal of this technique is to evaluate the cardiac frequency during normal and ventricular fibrillation beats through a visual inspection of the change in the heart rate. The main purpose is to verify the relationship between the slope and the change in the cardiac beat type. The greatest advantage of the proposed method is to recognize the time of the onset of the ventricular fibrillation by simply referring to the change in the slope. Therefore, it is necessary to start with a QRS complexes detection algorithm to find the position of R peaks. The evaluation of this technique is performed using the Creighton University ventricular tachyarrhythmia standard database (CUDB).

W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono nową metodę szacowania częstości akcji serca bezpośrednio z pozycji pików R. Celem tej pracy jest przedstawienie i interpretacja nowatorskiej metody opartej na nachyleniu krzywej odtwarzającej położenie pików R w funkcji ich odpowiednich wskaźników, co służy do oceny różnic w dynamice szeregów czasowych RR u pacjentów z migotaniem komór. Celem tej techniki jest ocena częstości akcji serca podczas uderzeń normalnych i migotania komór poprzez wizualną kontrolę zmian częstości akcji serca. Głównym celem jest sprawdzenie związku pomiędzy nachyleniem a zmianą typu rytmu serca. Największą zaletą proponowanej metody jest rozpoznanie czasu wystąpienia migotania komór poprzez proste odniesienie się do zmiany nachylenia. Dlatego konieczne jest rozpoczęcie od algorytmu wykrywania zespołów QRS, aby znaleźć położenie pików R. Ocenę tej techniki przeprowadza się z wykorzystaniem standardowej bazy danych tachyarytmii komorowej Uniwersytetu Creighton (CUDB).

A remaining useful life (RUL) prediction model based on the nonlinear Wiener process is proposed to better tackle the life evaluation problem in the slope degradation process. Taking the displacement of the slope as its performance degradation index, and the nonlinear Wiener process is used to establish the RUL prediction model of the slope. For this model, the least squares method (LSM) is used to estimate the drift coefficients, the maximum likelihood estimation method (MLEM) is used to estimate the diffusion parameters, and then the probability density function (PDF) of the RUL of the slope is deduced and the RUL is predicted. The proposed model is verified by slope engineering examples. The results demonstrated that the RUL of the degradation model based on the nonlinear Wiener process has a greater prediction accuracy than the linear Wiener process. Because the various nonlinear functions have varying slope adaptations, and it can predict the RUL of a slope more accurately, which can provide more reliable preventive maintenance decisions.

This study introduces a reliable method for simultaneously determining the thickness, slope, and ultrasonic velocities of slope plates using laser ultrasonic techniques without any damage in the thermoelastic regime. The method involves solving a system of equations to determine the arrival times of multiple signals displayed on a waveform. Numerical simulations indicate that the velocity of the skimming longitudinal wave remains constant when the Rayleigh wave does not overlap with its signal. Consequently, a prediction model for aluminum alloy has been established, enabling the estimation of the constant ratio between the velocities of skimming longitudinal and bulk longitudinal waves based on the skimming longitudinal velocity obtained by scanning the generating laser along the material's surface. This ratio, approximately 0.950, facilitates the combination of the skimming longitudinal wave with the reflected and mode-converted waves from the specimen's back surface to deduce the desired parameters. The method successfully determined the thickness, slope, and wave velocities of several specimens with slopes ranging from 0% to 1.96% and a maximum thickness of about 10 mm. Evaluating the influence of the size of the disk ultrasound source produced by the unfocused laser beam, we found that the radius of the disk source should be considered when calculating the arrival time of the skimming longitudinal wave. The root mean square deviation in measuring thickness, slope, longitudinal wave velocity, and shear wave velocity were approximately 0.100 mm, 0.10 %, 70 m/s, and 20 m/s, respectively. An assessment of the measured results, based on the root mean square deviation and uncertainty across all specimens, demonstrates the practical feasibility of the proposed method.

The issue of stability controlling cutting slopes is particularly important in clay-shale slopes, a typical expanding sedimentary layer with poor engineering geological conditions and mechanical characteristics. Therefore, research on the causes of failure and remedies for clay-shale cutting slopes is required to serve as an overview for handling and preserving clay-shale slopes in identical conditions. However, the trusted information about the need for further related clay shale research and clay shale in slope stability has yet to be specifically presented. This review study summarizes the published research for clay shale beginning in 1980, presents a bibliometric analysis to examine the published research based on year and country, and provides various study trends in cluster diagram using the VOSviewer program. The analysis also summarized some key goals, effective methodology, and significant findings from the most recent studies to extract information from them that would benefit future research. In conclusion, the results show the need for developing research to fill the knowledge gap regarding clay shale, landslide, and clay mineralogy. In addition, the clay shale slope analysis has revealed the need for additional research into dynamic force and its deformation.

The landslide is located in Wronki. It covers the southern side on the bank of the Warta River and occupy an area of 500 m in length. The landslide was once again activated on August 22-23, 2018, causing numerous failures. The Warta River slope in the area of mass movements is built by non-construction embankments, under which the Poznań Miocene-Pliocene of quasi-layered structure lie. There are horizontal interlayers of sandy silts in these clays. The Warta drains water from a large area, and the runoff takes place mainly on the roof of clays. The slide surface of the landslide was precisely the roof of the Poznań clays. Bearing in mind the properties of the Poznań clays, such as relaxation, block disintegration, expansiveness features, the following were considered the direct causes of the failure: heavy rainfall that occurred after a drought, loading of the slope with indiscriminate cubature buildings, construction of a linear sewage system and periodically repeated vibrations caused by the implementation of neighboring investments. In order to identify the area, test boreholes were made, samples were taken for laboratory tests, and geodetic measurements were taken. Based on the obtained results, slope stability calculations were made and a measurement network was developed for systematic monitoring of geodetic displacements of control points. It was recommended to perform drainage to drain the slope and side of the Warta River, plant bushes, and make changes to the land development plan in order to prohibit further development of the area in the endangered zone.

Opisywane osuwisko znajduje się w miejscowości Wronki, powiecie szamotulskim, województwie wielkopolskim. Obejmuje ono zbocze południowe, po lewej stronie rzeki Warty i zajmuje teren o rozciągłości ok. 500 m. Osuwisko po raz kolejny uaktywniło się w dniach 22-23 sierpnia 2018 r. powodując liczne awarie i zniszczenia. Skarpę Warty w obszarze występujących ruchów masowych budują nasypy niekontrolowane (o zróżnicowanym składzie), pod którymi zalegają mioceńsko-plioceńskie iły serii poznańskiej o quasi-warstwowej budowie - w iłach występują horyzontalne wkładki pyłów piaszczystych. Rzeka Warta drenuje wody z dużego obszaru, a spływ wód odbywa się głównie po stropie iłów. Strefę poślizgu stanowił właśnie strop iłów serii poznańskiej. Mając na uwadze właściwości iłów serii poznańskiej takie jak odprężenie (powstanie powierzchni zlustrzeń), dezintegracja blokowa, cechy ekspansywności (pęcznienie i skurcz), za bezpośrednią przyczynę awarii uznano: obfite opady, które wystąpiły po długotrwałej suszy, wieloletnie dociążanie skarpy nieprzemyślaną zabudową kubaturową, budowę liniowej instalacji kanalizacyjnej w obrębie skarpy oraz okresowo powtarzające się drgania spowodowane realizacją sąsiednich inwestycji (m.in. wbijanie pali czy mikrowybuchy). W celu rozpoznania terenu wykonano liczne otwory badawcze, pobrano próbki do badań laboratoryjnych, wykonano pomiary geodezyjne. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników, dokonano obliczeń stateczności skarpy i opracowano sieć pomiarową do systematycznego monitoringu przemieszczeń geodezyjnych punków kontrolnych. Zalecono wykonanie drenażu w celu odwodnienia skarpy i zbocza Warty, posadzenie krzewów, dokonanie zmian w planie zagospodarowania przestrzennego w celu wprowadzenia zakazu dalszej zabudowy terenu w strefie zagrożonej.

Prestressed anchor cables are active reinforcement to improve slope stability. However, the anchoring is not a permanent guarantee of stability, and the slope retains a potential risk of instability. From the perspective of the internal force of anchor cables, a new early warning method for the safety of the slope is provided, and a slope analysis model is established. With the increase in the strength reduction factor, the internal force increment curves of anchor cables under different prestresses are obtained. The point corresponding to strength reduction factors λ1 and λ2 represents a warning point. Key conclusions are drawn as follows: (1) The internal force of an anchor cable can be used to judge the stability of the slope strengthened by a prestressed anchor cable. (2) A warning index based on the internal force increment ratio of anchor cables is established. (3) The internal force increment ratio of anchor cables eliminates the influence of the initial prestress and is convenient for engineering applications.

High-precision seismic exploration has attracted a great deal of attention. Vertical seismic profiles have the advantages of high exploration accuracy and ideal imaging effects, making them an effective tool for mine exploration. The separation of upgoing and downgoing waves is a vital step in vertical seismic profile processing. However, wavefield separation processing in the frequency–wavenumber domain often leads to aliasing in the time–distance domain. In addition, it is likely to result in incomplete wavefield separation in the sparse domain because of inaccurate threshold selection. As an effective time–distance domain wavefield separation method, the plane-wave destruction method can effectively avoid these problems. However, the traditional local slope estimation in plane-wave destruction is data-driven, making it difficult to distinguish linear upgoing and downgoing waves. Therefore, the velocity-based local slope parameterization method is proposed to construct a plane-wave destruction filter that can be used to separate the vertical seismic profile wavefield. Synthetic and field data show that the proposed separating strategy has higher separation accuracy than traditional methods when separating the upgoing and downgoing waves of vertical seismic profile data.

Typowym rozwiązaniem dla budowy ciągów komunikacyjnych na całym świecie jest ekonomiczne wpasowywanie ich przebiegu do naturalnego ukształtowania terenu. Stąd też typowym jest budowa drogowej i kolejowej na nasypach lub we wcięciach. Zmiany klimatyczne w ostatnim czasie wywołują skrajne warunki i wydarzenia pogodowe, które w znacznym stopniu mają wpływ na stabilność skarp. Zaburzenia takie mogą się objawiać stopniowym osiadaniem o charakterze długoterminowym, lub nagłymi, nieprzewidzianymi osunięciami i zawałami oraz stanowić poważne zagrożenie dla życia ludzkiego.

A typical solution for the construction of ransportation infrastructure around the world is the economic adjustment of their course to the natural terrain. Hence, road and railway construction on embankments or in indentations is typical. Recent climate change is triggering extreme conditions and weather events that have a significant impact on the stability of slopes. Such disturbances may manifest themselves in gradual long-term subsidence, or in sudden, unforeseen landslides and collapses, and constitute a serious threat to human life.

The additional artificial elements have been implemented into weak soil to improve and stabi-lize the structures. The most frequent example is use of geosynthetics materials that in-crease stability, improve bearing capacity of soil, protect against surface erosion, affect into properties connected with filtration and drainage. The basic methods to protect against ero-sion of slopes is selected planting of grass and vegetation that prevent surface destruction. The application of biodegradable geotextiles allows to increase the positive impact on local stability of slopes. Advanced geotextiles support the vegetation growth by protection against dewatering. The geotextiles with grass seeds, biomates and fabrics made of natural fibers are frequently used in these applications. The physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties of applied materials should correspond to the purpose of built structure and type of soil. The paper presents results of research of the Maliwatt type nonwovens. The analysis in-cludes: the influence of different type of Maliwatt nonwovens and time of their use on select-ed physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties of these materials. The research was done by use of biotextile stitched with the Maliwatt technique that is available on the Polish market. The geotextiles were obtained from waste synthetic and natural nonwovens (RKL) with grass seeds, and innovative non-woven fabrics stitched with polyamide yarn (Maliwatt) obtained from low-quality washed sheep wool. The impact of the type of non-woven fabric on the growth of grasses was also analyzed. Research included spreading of 2 types of nonwovens on a natural slope with natural soil cover for 5 months period. All tests were performed in ac-cordance with the applicable harmonized standards.

This paper presents an experimental stabilization approach of the landslide that threatens a slope located near the city of El Amir Abdelkader, Ain Temouchent, Algeria. Stabilization is assured by the addition of lime milk, and then a numerical validation of the results with respect to the safety coefficient before and after treatment was performer by “Plaxis” software. Experimental results show that the stabilization by lime milk improves compaction parameters, swelling and shear strength, particularly the cohesion and friction angle, the latter permitting appreciation of the sliding surface on which it is necessary to base the calculation of the safety coefficient before and after treatment. Numerical results indicate that the factor of safety increases with the improvement of the mechanical characteristics c and φ, which are improved by increasing lime milk percentage. The numerical validation using “Plaxis” finite element code gives results that are in perfect agreement with the experimental ones, indicating that this software is a good tool for slope stability study.

Bamboo vegetation is an endemic plant in Indonesia that grows on riverbanks. These plants have the potential to increase shear resistance due to the bond between the roots to the soil. However, an increase in plant weight due to its growth causes additional loads of soil. The condition triggers the release of soil on the slopes and causes riverbank sliding. Therefore, in developing the riparian ecological function, it is necessary to maintain the plants without neglecting the risk of physical damage to the river. This study aimed to estimate the risk of riverbank sliding due to the presence of bamboo plants by utilizing the bamboo vegetation conditions on the Walanae River. It was carried out on the 42.4 km riverbank in the middle area of Walanae watershed. The researchers selected 46 clumps of parring bamboo (Gigantochloa atter) as an endemic bamboo in this area and growing in the riverbank. The diameter of the bamboo trunk is the basis for an estimate of the weight of the bamboo clump. Furthermore, a numerical analysis was carried out by taking into account the load and shear resistance on the slope, including the weight of the plant. The research results indicated that bamboo is feasible to be applied for riverbank protection using the soil bioengineering method. The bamboo weight, which is indicated by the number of poles and diameter, significantly affects the stability of the slope. Therefore, the prevention of rising weight by harvesting method is critical to consider in riverbank protection.

The article presents the results of the observations carried out in relation to buildings deflection in a selected mining area characterized by intensive mining operations. The analysis takes into account the influence of slopes near the foundation of objects that may contribute to the formation of additional terrain deformations and thus affect the discrepancy between the observed deflection of the building and the calculated change in the slope of the terrain. In order to determine the geometric measures describing the slopes, a modern measurement method was used in the form of an unmanned aerial vehicle raid. Correctly predicting changes in the deflection of buildings is crucial in making decisions about the handling of deflected buildings.
