  - Year 2012

  W artykule przedstawiono analizę wykorzystania materiałów antropogenicznych (głównie ubocznych produktów spalania) w drogownictwie na przykładzie Polski. Główny nacisk położono na analizę technologii w aspekcie emisyjności CO2. Zdaniem autorów technologie niskoemisyjne powinny mieć priorytet ''stosowalności'' - zwłaszcza w świetle ustaleń tzw. Protokołu z Kioto 2005. Geotechnika przyjazna środowisku, czyli tzw. Zielona Geotechnika,...

  Rafał Ossowski (born June 8th, 1973 in Chojnice) – expert in soil mechanics and geotechnics, mainly in field of numerical modeling and research on anthropogenic soils. Author and coauthor of publications on numerical modeling in soil mechanics, field soil investigation and application of anthropogenic soils in context of so-called "green geotechnics". In 1992–1997 he studied at the Faculty of Hydrotechnics GUT (renamed: Faculty...

  - Year 2017

  The paper presents the research results on application of composite soils for dike construction. The composite soil is produced by mixing bottom ash (by-product of energetics) with dredged material (sand) taken from the mouth of The Vistula river. The optimum composite for dike core was chosen with respect to mechanical parameters: high internal friction angle, good compaction and reduced hydraulic conductivity. The test dike was...

  - Procedia Engineering - Year 2013

  An analysis of using of anthropogenic materials, mainly ashes from Coal Combustion Products (CCP), for dike construction is shown. Perspectives of anthropogenic materials application in geotechnical engineering and their advantages in sense of the carbon dioxide reduction are discussed. According to regulations of Kioto Protocol 2005 and EU agreement “Energy Roadmap 2050” recycled materials have higher usage priority than natural...
