Effect of boundary layer for multilayered wall with transversal gradation of effective properties was investigated. Every layer of considered wall had thickness η and was made of two isotropic, homogeneous linear elastic materials. The consideration without effect of boundary layer was reduced to the one dimensional stationary problem within the frames of asymptotic variant of tolerance modelling – local homogenization. The equations of boundary layer effect were presented within the frames of tolerance model.

This paper presents the general principles of soils grouping on the base of geotechnical soundings. The results of the CPT and DMT tests carried out in the campus of Warsaw University of Life Sciences, as well as set individual geotechnical layers were summarized. Based on the results of laboratory test, mainly grain size distribution analysis of soil, types of soils were identified and compared with data from field tests. Also a statistical analysis of data from field tests were carried out. Addition, the differences in the classification according to Polish PN-86/B-02480 and European PN-EN ISO 14688 standards were presented.

There are several kinds of geotechnical tests that can be used for determination of stratigraphy and soil parameters. The CPTU test is one of the most powerful site investigation tools. The probe is normally available in two sizes: Ac = 10 cm² and Ac = 15 cm². Most of the correlations with geotechnical data were developed based on 10 cm² CPTU (CPT) results. This paper presents geological description of investigated site, test procedure and the results of geotechnical in situ investigations carried out with the use of 10cm² CPTU cone and 15 cm² CPTU cone. It contains the description of in situ measurements and presents the results of CPTU investigations at the experimental plot of Campus SGGW in Warsaw. The aim of the paper is to compare parameters measured by the 15 cm² CPTU to 10 cm² CPTU. Finally the paper presents the analysis of obtained results.

The paper presents main recommendations in design of low energy-consuming country houses, taking the architectural solutions into consideration. The attention was drawn to shaping of functional and spatial elements of the houses, such as their mass (including the spatial form of the roof), rooms arrangement, system of functional links, elements of the house structure along with the properties of ground concerning isolation and heat accumulation as well as the localization of the house on the plot including the solution of its surroundings.

In this paper are presented the ways of building interiors of contemporary orthodox churches, which forms are similar to traditional. Researches were concentrated of their liturgical functions. The author presented phenomenon, that traditional function of prothesis disappears. In the article is presented opulent symbols of orthodox churches interiors.
