Concept of hybrid embankment
Journal Title: Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW. Land Reclamation - Year 2015, Vol 47, Issue 2
Abstract
An innovative technique which is similar to a natural process, i.e., biogeochemical (carbonate) diagenesis, is proposed to construct a hybrid embankment. In this study, the hybrid embankment is defined as a soil embankment which has a microbially induced framework structure of sand sheets and columns in the soft soil matrix. The sand materials are cemented with magnesium-calcite or dolomite, induced by ureolytic microbes. To design and construct hybrid embankments, fundamental problems, such as feasibility in terms of stability, geoenvironmental engineering practices, etc., are examined and discussed. It was shown that the hybrid embankment can be environmentally friendly and also can contribute solving technical and financial problems encountered in actual practice.

Linkage of “Lakes Zwenkau-Cospuden” as one of the elements of land reclamation after the open-cast mines and its future importance for the development of the region
The open-cast mine “Böhlen”, closed in 1921, in 1969 was transformed into “Zwenkau”(“Zw”) open-cast mine. In the seventies, together with its smaller neighbouring mine “Cospuden”(“Cs”), became one of the greatest enterpr...
