Abstract
Paper brings a review of creep slope movement phenomena, its damage to structures, and the applied stabilization techniques in urban locations. The holistic approach to such locations based on proper ground investigation and design of preventive and remedial measures is presented on three case studies in Brno, Czech Republic. The need to respect the given geological conditions is emphasized. The related non-structural preventive measures (preventing infiltration, not undercutting the slope toe), and structural remedial measures (underpinning, anchored pile walls) application in the specific condition are described. The process of numerical analysis of strengthening pile retaining wall supporting the cut constructed in the lower part of the sliding body is presented. The importance of residual soil strength parameters for analysis of landslides is emphasized also.
