Podrobný výpis o publikaci

Foundation soil properties are influenced by many factors. Endogenous processes are one of these. Foundation soil and building constructions are exposed to a number of factors, which can be influenced to a greater or lesser extent. Endogenous processes are factors that cannot be avoided. Construction works interact with these processes and have to cope with its effects. If we are unable to predict their occurrence, its impact strength and possible consequences, we are not able to confront these phenomena. Tectonic movements that cause subsidence, landslides, erosion, earthquakes, waterlogging, flooding areas and many others belong to endogenous processes. An earthquake is an endogenous process as well. An earthquake causes quakes, destruction of buildings, landslides, soil liquefaction, subsidence and changes in relief. The last phenomenon covered in this publication is volcanic activity. Volcanic activity causes a change in relief, destruction of buildings, earthquakes, landslides and fires. Endogenous processes cannot be separated from exogenous processes. Exogenous and endogenous factors are interconnected and together affect terrain morphology, rock properties, groundwater, and many others. Speech endogenous processes is often much greater, more destructive, but at a significantly smaller area.
