| Description | Problems with foundation conditions in construction are becoming more and more frequent at present. The main reasons are the rising price of building land and the shortage of land. The price of building land in the Czech Republic has risen by 200 % in the last 15 years, whereby by 130 % in the last 5 years (Odds CZ, 2024). We are therefore in a situation where buildings are being built in inappropriate places or where historically they have never been built. These are places with massive layers of building rubble, undermined areas or areas of former watercourses. It is therefore necessary to seek solutions for these non-standard conditions in cooperation between geologists and civil engineers. |
