The forecast of stability of the landslide slope existing in the River Gldaniskhevi Valley

Abstract

At the territory of Tbilisi, in order to forecast strength of vulnerable slope, existed at the river Gldaniskhevi catchment basin, a topographical map of the located slope has been done where the characteristic section line has been chosen and 3 pores have been arranged. Soil samples have been taken out of the pores, according to the results of the laboratory researches on them lithological structure of the rocks has been determined, also the geological section of the territory has been made; physical features of the soil strength factors, characteristics of the slopes resistant in case of natural and wet states, has been determined.

According to the gained landslide body data and forecast, done with the use of approbated method, it can be said, that landslide running at the vulnerable slope of the Gldaniskhevi river is in its active phase, that poses great ecological danger to the population of Mamkoda settlement, agjoining the slope, as well as to the traffic of the autobahn.
