The popular in Russian Federation and common used method developed by authors is the compaction of substrate by soil columns. It is used in a variant covered with geosynthetic as barrier and reinforcement under an embankment. Authors present results of numerical calculations in direct numerical determinist...

The purpose of the study was to present detailed the stages in achieving the documentation necessary to upgrade the infrastructure of a road, after the landslides which led to the erosion of embankments. The chosen methodology consisted in designing and analyzing the topographical, geological, hydrographic, climatic studies and seismic classification of the area. Following the completion of basic works were proposed other works necessary to remedy the problem, conjunction with legislation to obtaining the Environm...

The paper starts with the presentation of some general elements for characterizing, from morphological, geological, climatic, rainfalls and hydrographical point of view, a national road routing, highlighting the specific particularities which are concerning the study of the instability phenomena. Further on, are presented the types of instability phenomena present on the national road routing, including the general causes that produced them. The paper ends with the analysis of two case studies, considered as being...
