EXAMPLES OF STABILISATION OF COASTAL LANDSLIDES BY INNOVATIVE DEEP DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
Abstract
Seashore, generally, especially cliffs, are very often affected by problems with instability. Such problems often lead to endanger of existing properties, excavations or structures under construction and to increase in expenses. The prime trigger for land slipping is a high ground water level. The method of dewatering is important. Some traditional drainage techniques are proven methods. However, two innovative deep drainage systems, siphon drains and electropneumatic drains, could have certain advantages. Two examples introducing the design and construction of siphon and electropneumatic drains to control slope stability are described below.
