  Rehabilitation of Infrastructure After Road Slips on Steep Slopes
  Author(s): Anastasios Mouratidis*
  
  Roads in the urban or rural environment may undergo severe deterioration due to flood events, erosion and drop of shear strength in the supporting infrastructure. Common features of this type of road deterioration are: [a] narrow head of slide [b] rotational or plane failure, [c] bottom-up distress due to soil erosion and degradation. In several cases, upgrading interventions can be very difficult because of limited access of mechanical equipment, necessary for rehabilitation operations. Especially, in case of road slides on steep natural slopes, rehabilitation of the soil infrastructure may encounter serious impediments: limited access to equipment, risk of total collapse in case of further excavation, hand transport of materials, limited width of the geostructure to be restored. Geotechnical engineers have to deal with all these constraints and conclude to the most suitable and the .. Read More»
