Project The preparation of a complex of geophysical methods for diagnosing, monitoring and analyzing defects of structures and roads foundations that occured in consequence of the floods
Abstract
After flood events in the Czech Republic in 1997 and 2002, geophysical investigation was applied to a large extent in assessing damage caused by floods. Based on these works, a project „The preparation of a complex..." was prepared, having aimed to prepare and improve the methodology of the geophysical works which would be applicable in the future in potential post-flood works. It is scheduled for the period between 2006 and 2010, significant part of this project is formed by cooperation with a Russian company Geologorazvedka Moscow. The project includes the measurement at six localities. In addition to seeking to find ideal methodology for assessing post-flood damage, a database is being created to allow year-to-year comparison. The frequency of these measurements at the key lokality (the Vltava River embankment, Prague) after its flooding was intensified. The project is to be completed soon, with the final processing of the measured data currently being intensively performed. The results gained so far show that besides the refined methodology also outcomes themselves from the project-related measurement at certain localities will be useful for end-users.
