Solution of the Side Slope Problem Caused by Slides on the Prishtinaprizren Highway

Abstract

Landslides from the side slopes of the road are phenomena that are caused by changes in atmospheric conditions which have also affected the change of physicalmechanical parameters of clay layers that have caused the stimulation and possible activation of landslides, but during the study of this area additional measures have been taken to solve this problem in order to prevent the possibility of landslides that are a traffic jams and a high risk on the highway at which the maximum speed allowed, according to the standards based on which the road is constructed, it is foreseen to be 120 km/h, then to reduce the risk of not coming to the traffic jams on the highway that can cause fatal accidents on that segment of the road according to the case shown in Fig. 1 as well as to find a solution to avoid this phenomenon of slips is made the comparison of the existing condition of the side slopes of the road and the designed one, which is the purpose of this paper, calculating the stability of the side slopes according to the existing condition and that designed taking into account the physical -mechanical parameters with the safety factor allowed according to geotechnical standards.
