Negative Experience of Geotechnical Calculations and Installation of Retaining Buried Structures

The problem of increasing the load-bearing capacity of foundations is always an urgent problem in modern geotechnical construction. It is of particular importance when building on landslide-prone slopes. At the same time, both designers and customers make irreparable mistakes in the development of design documentation for retaining buried structures during the construction of facilities in such areas. All the allowed flaws are mainly due to the lack of proper control by the technical customer for the performance of pre-design work, including engineering and geological surveys. This article describes a negative case from the geotechnical practice of designing and building a residential complex on a landslide slope. The article is a review.
