Purpose. There are many problems in the design of anti-landslide constructions, therefore discrete constructions are an alternative to solid anti-landslides. Despite the advantages of such constructions, difficulties also arise when using them. In this work, it is envisaged to develop methods for determining the zone of influence of discrete restraining constructions on the interaction of a sliding soil mass with them and a method for assessing the conditions of a stable state of the soil, which interacts with discrete restraining constructions, by constructing analytical dependencies necessary to determine the zone size and the soil stability coefficient. Methodology. Theoretical studies of geomechanical processes using analytical and numerical mathematical methods, as well as analysis and generalization of theoretical research results were used to achieve the purpose. Findings. The research results presented in the work allow, during the design of landslide discrete constructions, to determine the area of interaction of the shear with discrete retaining constructions, as well as to take into account the stability coefficient of the soil laid between the elements of the discrete retaining structure. Dependences were obtained for determining the zone size in which the sliding soil mass interacts, with discrete retaining constructions, and the soil stability coefficient in the zone of its interaction with these constructions. Originality. Analytical dependencies allow to calculate the boom of lifting the soil dumping arch between the elements of the discrete anti-landslide restraining construction and the coefficient of soil stability. Practical value. The research results allow, when designing discrete restraining constructions, to determine the area of interaction of the shear with these constructions and the stability coefficient of the soil laid between the elements of the discrete restraining construction.
