Croatian karst as a media for engineering and development - geological perspective

The paper elaborates specific geological characteristics of the carbonate sediments, and hazards encountered while tunnelling in Croatian karst. The presented general picture of engineering properties can help while developing engineering geological and geotechnical models for future projects in similar environment. Our intention is also to warn other experts (urban developers, civil engineers) on karst hazards and stress importance of thorough and multidisciplinary investigations prior, during, and also posterior to engineering in karst.
