The paper examines the application of different monitoring methods for slope processes in determining the location and geometry of the slip surface in landslides. An integrated approach is presented, combining field engineering geological reconnaissance, geodetic monitoring of surface displacements, engineering geological and hydrogeological investigations, inclinometer measurements, and penetration tests. The capabilities and limitations of the individual methods in identifying active shear zones and the depth of...

Engineering-geological and hydrogeological investigations play an important role in the selection and design of dewatering methods for construction excavations and the choice of the foundation type of the designed buildings. This paper presents a case study from a construction site in Sofia city, situated in the southernmost part of the Sofia graben and near by a river terrace. The project involves the construction of a five-story residential building with one underground level. The groundwater table was establish...
