Abstract

Numerical-analytical methods of stability of consequential, block-flexure and creep-plastic landslide-prone slopes are being developed at the G.Tsulukidze Mining Institute. These methods have been used: to determine the degree of stability of the landslide-prone blocks remaining after the 2015 landslides in Tskneti-Samadlo, to calculate the stability of the landslide bodies of M. Machavariani and Sheshelidze Streets in Tbilisi, and then - to develop their strengthening projects together with the specialists of the German-Bavarian Bureau of Engineering Geology and the construction company CRP.
