Abstract

More than 90% of the territory of Ukraine has complex ground conditions. As a result, Ukraine is becoming a region of integrated influence of regional flooding and seismic activity on formation of landslides. 4 case studies will be considered in the presentation: results of visual and instrumental inspections of the landslide protection structures (1); direct dynamic method for calculating and analysis of the stress-deformed state of landslide slopes under dynamic influences (2); technical and software means of the automated real time monitoring system for landslide of the Central Livadia Landslide System of the Autonomic Republic of Crimea of Ukraine (ARCU) (3); landslide stabilization in building practice: methodology and experimental investigation from ARCU (4). Only case study (4) is described in more detail because of the limited scope of the extended abstract. One of the most efficient solutions for landslide protection is the short underground piles (SUP). They are shortened bored piles, immersed below the slide surface on the calculated value and output above it at a distance providing overlapping of slipping soils. In the process of experimental work there appeared the need to choose the optimal testing mode. Selected results of experimental studies of the SUP are presented.
