Hrib landslide remediation
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 of the landslide
For the purpose of the landslide remediation design, we conducted engineering, geological and geotechnical investigation and testing. In addition to geological and geotechnical prospecting of the wider area and engineering as well as geological mapping of the terrain, geophysical tests, standard penetration tests (SPTs) and exploratory drilling were also carried out. Based on all the conducted investigation and testing, a laboratory and geotechnical report were created, in which the layout of the sliding surface and its dimensions were determined in more detail.
As part of the landslide remediation, works to increase the global stability of the slope are planned, as well as the construction of a rainwater drainage system and the reconstruction of the damaged road.
Landslide remediation is planned to be carried out by the construction of a pile wall made of reinforced concrete drilled piles. The length of each pile is L = 9.0 m and nominal diameter is D = 620.0 mm, placed at a horizontal axial distance of s = 1.4 m. On top of the piles, a reinforced concrete capping beam in the form of a retaining wall for the road is planned, with a height of h = 2.45 m and foundation width of b = 1.5 m.One row of self-drilling anchors of length L = 10.0 m will be installed through the retaining wall (capping beam) at a horizontal axial distance of s = 2.8 m. In addition to the aforementioned works to ensure the global stability of the slope, the reconstruction of the road and the construction of a stormwater and deep drainage system in the wider zone of the landslide are planned.
