The work refers to the modern method of stabilizing unstable, water-saturated creeping slopes, with the combination of bulk piles and gabions. The application of the method makes it possible to ensure the stability of the slope by means of bulk piles, passing through weak soils, building semi-massive gabion walls on the piles with a stepped front edge. Bulk piles and gabions are used in modern construction for strengthening the slopes of river banks, in the preparation of protective structures to stand the rockfall, avalanche floods, in the construction of bridges, hydraulic and other facilities. The novelty of the proposed method is the stabilization and watering of the slopes organized without the construction of reinforced concrete retaining walls and land-based systems. It provides strength in depth and minimizing hydrostatic pressure.

The work concerns the use of polyvinyl chloride joints as a modern method of stabilizing the trenches in military construction built on unstable water-saturated slopes by combining it with a transverse drainage. Employment of the method will reduce the hydrostatic pressure on the trench walls, excluding the possibility of collapse, and will increase the efficiency of service at military bases. Polyvinyl chloride joints are used in hydraulic engineering in a number of countries, in the construction of artificial canals, swimming pools and flood protection. The novelty of this method is its usage in flooded areas, which at the same time prevents landslides by organizing drainage.
