Geotechnical Practice of Slope Reinforcement

Abstract

Geotechnical construction is one of the most important branches of the construction of zero parts of objects for various purposes. The existing rich potential of geotechnical technologies allows us to successfully perform the tasks of building foundations for buildings in any engineering and geological conditions and on any territory, including slopes, ravines, embankments. Very often there are cases of erection of objects on rugged territories with alternating structurally unstable soils, moreover, additionally loaded with artificial leaning slopes. In geotechnical practice, there are still cases of construction on such slopes without proper engineering and technical support, i.e. without the presence of actually carried out engineering surveys, as well as developed anti landslide measures. Ultimately, in most cases, the neglect of generally accepted standards leads to undesirable consequences, expressed in deformations of the constructed buildings. This article considers one such case.
