Obecnie istnieją już techniczne możliwości uniknięcia trudnych manualnie i pracochłonnych pomiarów składu granulometrycznego gruntów (np. analiza sitowa czy areometryczna). Parametr ten można badać za pomocą urządzeń optyczno-elektronicznych typu Elsieve, które coraz powszechniej używane są w Polsce. Takie urządzenia pomiarowe wykorzystuje się do wyznaczenia krzywej granulometrycznej ziaren o wymiarach od 0.5 mim do 100 mm. Dodatkowo istnieje możliwość określenia kształtu ziaren według pomiarów 3D oraz innych parametrów uziarnienia. System pomiarowy może składać się z dowolnej liczby urządzeń połączonych indywidualnie z komputerem rejestrującym. Każdy indywidualny komputer przyrządu pomiarowego połączony jest z komputerem centralnym pełniącym rolę serwera. Stworzona sieć komputerów pozwala jednocześnie rejestrować wyniki pomiarowe na komputerze obsługującym dane urządzenie pomiarowe, jak również na pozostałych komputerach. Taki system pomiarowy jest używany do badań uziarnienia gruntów i innych geomateriałów w laboratorium Instytutu Hydrogeologii i Geologii Inżynierskiej Wydziału Geologii UW.

Nowadays there are available technical possibilities to avoid manually difficult and work-consuming measurements of soil grain composition (e.g. sieve or sedimentation analysis). Such measurements can be replaced by optical-electronic instruments called Elsieve that are more common in Poland. The instruments are used for determination of grain-size distribution of gains and particles with diameter form 0.5 mim to 100 mm. Additionally there is possibility to determine shape of grains by 3D measurements and other graining parameters. The measuring system can consist of any number of instruments, connected with recording computer. Every computer of any measuring instruments is connected with the server. The created network allows to save measuring results at computer that works with particular instrument and at other computers. Such a system is used for measurements of soil and other geomaterials grain composition in laboratory at Institute of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology, Faculty of Geology, University of Warsaw.

This paper presents the preliminary results of ground penetrating radar sounding applied at the desert archaeological site in Saqqara (Egypt). The survey was carried out in 2012 within a project realized by Institute of Archaeology, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw and the Faculty of Geology, University of Warsaw. One of the key aims of the research was testing the application of ground penetrating radar to non-invasive surveys of desert archaeological sites. Radargrams obtained for area of so called the Dry Moat channel surrounding the Step Pyramid complex have shown the geological structure of its filling. It comprises among others debris-sand conglomerate of diluval origin characterized by a significant content of the clay fraction and clay minerals. Such lithological content strongly attenuate the propagation of EM waves, restricting the depth range of the GPR survey. The conducted geophysical prospection west to the Step Pyramid in Saqqara has confirmed the high applicability of the GPR method in non-invasive studies of vast architectural structures, such as the monumental ditch surrounding the Step Pyramid known as the Dry Moat. It should summarised that high horizontal resolution obtained during GPR survey is a result of local geological structure of the searched area, i.e. strong lithological contrast of the sediments filling the Dry Moat, which, depending on their mineralogical composition.

The Tell el-Retaba archaeological site is located in the middle part of Wadi Tumilat, which extends along the north-eastern margin of the Nile Delta. It contains fragments of fortified and domestic objects of the ancient fortress and other constructions built of mud bricks. The establishment and functioning of the fortress is dated at the times of the reign of two great pharaohs, Ramesses II and Ramesses III (13th and 12th centuries BC). The grain size composition of the sediments used for mud brick production had significant influence on their physical and mechanical properties, which was used by the ancient Egyptians for the improvement of bricks. The finest fractions, clay and silt, which generally comprise clay minerals and organic matter played a significant role. These components significantly influenced the mud brick properties and resulted in a structural cohesion of the material. The second important component of mud bricks were coarse fractions – sand and gravel. The source of material used for brick production were the natural sediments located in the vicinity of the fortress, i.e. the Holocene lake clay and the Pleistocene gravel and sand of the gezira formation, deposited by a braided river. Clay sediments have a variable lithology as can be deduced from grain size composition of mud bricks and their properties. This variability was caused by a variable regime of the Nile, which supplied material to the lake basin. Geological studies were used to recognize ancient environment and morphology of the area, and to find clay, sand and gravel open-pits that existed in the area. The fortress site was selected optimally in relation to the landscape morphology and close vicinity of the source of basic material and water used for mud brick production. The area around the fortress was substantially transformed by humans due to settlement.

This paper presents an issue of microstructural changes in clay soils during the water loss due to increase of suction pressure. The change of microstructure affects the geological engineering properties of soils causes problems with the foundation of buildings. The volumetric changes of cohesive soils, containing significant amounts of clay minerals from the smectite group, are caused by a variable water content in soil. The phenomenon of the moisture change significantly alters the geological engineering properties of these soils as a result of shrinking and swelling. This paper aims at presenting the microstructural changes in remoulded specimens of Neogene clays caused by loss of moisture due to suction pressure. The scientific examination involved quantitative analyses of the microstructure using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study pore space details of remoulded specimens. Tested samples from selected levels of the Neogene clays (Poznan Series) were collected from the Warsaw-Stegny area. Samples were taken from a research polygon for these clay soils. The basic geological engineering properties of clay soils and remoulded specimens have been examined after being prepared according to strictly defined procedures. Through successive stages of the suction pressure (from 50 to 1600 kPa), the samples underwent the process of loss of moisture. Application of a novel method of sample preparation procedure for remoulded specimens allowed examining structurally homogeneous soils and obtaining results without an effect of material anisotropy. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of soil microstructures were performed using SEM and STIMAN software for quantitative images processing. The analysis allowed determination of the number of geometric and morphometric parameters of the microstructure with high accuracy. Based on this study, significant qualitative and quantitative changes in loss of moisture due to suction pressure in the process of remoulded specimens were noted along with changes in the microstructure and pore space of clay soils. The obtained results showed the effect of successive stages of "closing" of the structure of cohesive soils. Microstructural changes have a significant influence on the values of clay soil properties during the shrinkage and swelling process, which are caused by changes in the water content.

Geneza krzemieni i czertów należy do największych zagadek współczesnej geologii. Od 1999 r. zespół polsko-amerykański, reprezentowany przez autorów niniejszego artykułu, prowadzi badania nad wyjaśnieniem warunków tworzenia się krzemieni górnojurajskich w rejonie Ożarowa (NE obrzeżenie Gór Świętokrzyskich). Stwierdzono istnienie antykorelacji pomiędzy *D i *18O. Obecne badania koncentrują się nad dwoma najbardziej prawdopodobnymi modelami genetycznymi krzemieni: (1) zmian temperatur na skutek działalności podmorskich źródeł hydrotermalnych, (2) samoorganizującej się katalitycznej krystalizacji. Uzyskane wyniki będą stanowić istotny wkład do badań nad genezą krzemieni i czertów z różnowiekowych formacji skalnych.

The selected parameters of the Wartanian and Odranian tills, with relation to their spatial occurrence, grain size distribution, mineralogical composition, matric suction and other physical characteristics, are presented. The assessment of the lithogenesis and stress history on the microstructure is attempted. The comparison of the compression and permeability characteristics from field and laboratory tests has been performed. Laboratory consolidation tests carried out with up to 20MPa vertical stress, revealed two yield stress values, one in the range of a couple hundreds kPa, the other in the range of a couple thousands kPa. Based on those results, the reliability of the soil preconsolidation assessment, with the use of the two different methods is discussed. The aspect of the triaxial strength reduction under the dynamic loading of diverse frequency and amplitude is raised. The research results depict a variety of possible geological-engineering characteristics, under the divergent constraints scenarios, of compression or strength weakening origin. The effects of the specialized research program will widen the possibilities of physio-mechanical and structural characterization of soils for geological-engineering purposes.
