Innovative approaches to a solution for surface deformations on earth structures of linear traffic construction

The modification of the slopes of linear transport structures includes humus and grassing which is intended to improve their resistance to erosion. Nevertheless, these slopes are increasingly affected by landslides of the surface layers with the key factors being extreme precipitation fluctuations and the influence of new earthwork technologies. The solution requires an interdisciplinary approach and the introduction of innovative measures. An important role is also played by geodetic monitoring and outputs from modern methods (3D scanning) which provide detailed data on slope changes. A pilot project focused on embankment monitoring in the Hradec Králové region showed the importance of these technologies in dealing with landslides.
