Separated Geotechnical Environments During the Research of the Terrain at the Location Planned for the Construction of the Silos in Kozluk Near Zvornik

The construction of high-rise objects in solid rocks characterized by frequent changes in its vertical profile requires a more detailed study of lithological layers, tectonic characteristics and analysis of physical and mechanical parameters. Layers of different strength and characteristics in all elements make it possible to separate it by geological environments, in order to choose the most favorable one for the foundation of objects. As part of the construction of additional silos at the existing "Molaris" Mill complex in Kozluk near Zvornik, research was conducted at the central points of the future facilities and the immediate surroundings. Investigation works up to a depth of 12.0 m defined all the complexity of the terrain structure in a small area. Conducted research on rock samples from exploration works and from the open terrain profile showed differences in the physical and mechanical characteristics of softer rocks susceptible to solubility in water. Separated environments show that the foundation of objects cannot be done only in one environment, given the folds of the layers in a very small area.
