Study of soil cover is particularly important for solving the occurred problems from implementation of infrastructure works of the roads. The soil cover is at the upper part of the Earth's crust and has distinct properties morphological, mineralogical, physical and chemical differences due to climate, relief, waters. The interrelatedness of the various geomorphological, climatic, hydrological and soil factors and the human factor, resulted in a wide variety of soils with specific and constantly evolving. In Timi? ...

GIS-Based Local Geomorphological Constraints Assessment (A Case Study: Cluj- Napoca Municipality, Romania). This paper deals with the implications of geomorphological constraints on urban sprawl specific to the new residential suburbs of Cluj-Napoca Municipality (Romania). In many cases, the development and the territorial evolution of the urban residential units are conditioned or restricted by the different landforms and slope processes (e.g. landslides). Cluj-Napoca Municipality area has experienced during rece...

In the classification of natural disasters and hazards that occur all over the world, landslides are in the fifth place, both as far as number of casualties and material losses. Landslides are processes that lead to natural disasters or technical failures, the consequences of which threaten life, health and property of people. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of the risk seems to be a very important issue in preventing effects of this natural disasters. This paper therefore discuss the causes of landslides wit...

Pre-failed landslides occurring in quasi-homogeneous soils are difficult to be characterized from the standpoint of their partially formed failure surface geometry. The paper presents the combined geotechnical investigation methods (fully sampled boreholes with laboratory tests, in-situ dynamic probing and so on) giving a very accurate point-wise description of the soil, with geophysical methods (electric resistivity tomography ? ERT, seismic refraction and multichannel analysis of surface waves ? MASW) providing ...

Evolution and development of landslides is influenced by a number of natural factors (soil, geological substrate, relief, climate, vegetation etc.) and anthropogenic factors (deforestation, overloading of land with constructions, inadequate meteoric waters drain, artificial undermining of slopes-embankments for roads etc.). In this paper we propose to analyze the causes of landslides that affected the county road DJ 585 located in Visag area, Caras-Severin county limit, and also to issuing technical solutions for ...
