Additional Geotechnical Investigation Task for Slope Stabilization Project at Regional Road P130 Līgas – Kandava – Veģi, km 14.00 – 14.20, Latvia

Abstract

Slope stabilization is quite rare geotechnical design task in Latvia. Therefore, no much practical experience is accumulated in geotechnical society hands within this field. The problem solving process is unroutine and shall be based on engineering judgement, made by person responsible for design. The case study of the particular creeping slope stabilization problem contains the history of it’s evolution and the planned geotechnical investigation methods which will be implemented for additional geotechnical investigations. In author’s opinion the experience described in this article highlights the importance of geotechnical work programme elaboration by the person responsible for the design structural solution, and the necessity of supervision during geotechnical investigation process.
