Abstract

The article brings an overview of the brownfield topic from a geotechnical point of view. A brownfield defines an non-utilized, dilapidated or ecological damaged property that lost its first function. Demand on the revitalization of such areas, especially within cities, is increasing. However, the revitalization often has to deal with geotechnical aspects as ground investigation, ground improvement or potential settlement of new buildings. Slope stability is also a big issue, especially in mining areas where the remediation of spoil heaps and open-pit excavations should come true. Various underground structures count as specific kinds of brownfields. The potential collapse of the underground structures, mostly unknown, accounts for a risk for existing buildings as well as for new projects. Revitalization of the brownfields is also an opportunity to employ smart city concepts. Geothermal energy is one of the geotechnical contributions to the topic of smart cities. The article illustrates the examined issues from the Czech Republic with an emphasis on Brno city.
