Abstract
- The Ruczaj district in Kraków is the potential building area of high flat blocks for inhabitants. This area is built of the gypsum basement covered by the soil and impermeable clay beds with several meters of thickness. The flat blocks must be set on the textured gypsum layer. In the result of the rainfall and static pressure of the blocks, the water with SO42− increases up to the groundwater level, become the great threat for the flat blocks. The water creates specific hydrogeological conditions occurring in the zone of the building's foundations. To eliminate the mentioned threat, we should determine precisely the thickness of the soil and impermeable clay as well as the depth of the gypsum basement. Based on the electromagnetic parameters of the geological formations, the Ground Conductivity Meter and DC resistivity methods were used to solve the mentioned problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
