Kosavin Landslide Remediation on the 5062 County Road

May 16, 2024

In the village of Kosavin of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, a landslide has occurred along the 5062 county road, approximately 37.0 meters wide and 25.0 meters long, on the southern roadside. The landslide is characterized by a frontal crack approximately 3.0 m high. In some parts, the landslide has the properties of a mud flow, and […]

Hrib landslide remediation on local road L58007

June 27, 2023

In the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, in the village of Hrib, a landslide with a width of 35.0 m and a length of 47.0 m has occurred. The landslide is characterized by its vertical front crack measuring 1.0 m in height and three secondary front cracks ranging between 10.0 m and 18.0 m within the body […]

Dubravci landslide remediation on state road DC3

October 13, 2022

The remediation works on the Dubravci landslide, located on state road DC3, section 012, at km 4+400 in Karlovac County, have been completed. For this project, we carried out the engineering geological and geotechnical investigation and testing and made the main and detailed landslide remediation designs. We also carried out the complete supervision of the […]

Brebornica landslide remediation on the DC1 state road

July 28, 2022

The remediation works on the Brebornica landslide, located on state road DC1, section 011, at km 4+500 in Karlovac County, have been completed. For this project we carried out the engineering geological and geotechnical investigation and testing and made the main and detailed landslide remediation design. During the execution of the works, we also carried […]

Landslide mapping using Remote Sensing

March 13, 2020

Landslides are phenomena that occur as a result of sliding processes. In some cases, landslides can also occur after other types of movement which occur either immediately after a breakdown or later, when a mass moves down a slope, as a consequence of the changes in the properties of the triggered material. Landslide mapping methods […]

Landslide mitigation at Vela Voda

June 26, 2019

A landslide of approximately 110 m in width and 40 m in length occurred on a part of an unstable slope along the western edge of county road in Gorski Kotar, section Crni Lug – Mrzle Vodice – Gornje Jelenje. The village of Vela Voda is located only 0.5 km north of the landslide. Some […]

Landslide monitoring – measuring inclinometer

April 9, 2019

The problem of stability of natural and artificial slopes is one of the biggest problems in geotechnics. Landslides occur as a result of instability, and imbalances in the soil are a ubiquitous problem that often has harmful consequences. In order to detect and prevent the potential dangers of such occurrences in a timely manner, continuous […]

Testing of ground anchors

March 28, 2019

Ground anchor is a bearing element used to transfer the forces from the structure to the soil or rock mass. Early use of anchors included the application of rock bolts in Poland in 1918 and later in Czechoslovakia in 1926. Anchors were first introduced into civil engineering in 1934 by the French engineer André Coyne […]

Potential geological hazards in the Rječina valley

February 14, 2019

Geological hazards are geological processes that can potentially lead to material destruction and human victims. If these negative effects occur, we are talking about a natural disaster. To understand natural disasters and assess their impact (risk) on humans, it is necessary to determine: Where some types of hazards could occur and why? How often these […]

How to build on unstable terrains and avoid landslides?

September 27, 2018

How to avoid landslides? In today’s blog, we present you examples of good practice in building structures on potentially unstable slopes. The temperatures are falling, the autumn is in front of us and we are expecting soon, wanting or not, the rainy periods that will actualize the subject in geotechnical engineering – LANDSLIDES. We have […]

Landslides

August 31, 2018

We have all heard about landslides. In news there are mostly mentioned in negative way, because they are identified with hazardous consequences and human victim. Lots of landslides are activated in a short period of time, due to extreme hydrological conditions in a relatively small area. What exactly are landslides? What are the most common […]
