Trans-disciplinary Concept of Geotechnical Slope Stability Design

摘要

The protection of the environment, including waste management, is one of the pillars of the policy of the European Union. The application which is presented in that paper try to show trans-disciplinary way to design geotechnical constructions. Based on generally accepted principles the author presents numerical modelling patterns of earth retaining walls as slope stabilization system. The paper constitutes an attempt to summarise and generalise earlier researches which involved FEM numeric procedures and the Z_Soil package. The design of anthropogenic soil used as a material for reinforced earth retaining walls, are not only of commercial but of environmental importance as well and consistent with the concept of sustainable development and the need to redevelop brownfield. This paper tries to show conceptual and empirical modelling approaches to slope stability system used anthropogenic soil from heaps of mining a special focus to urban areas of South of Poland and perspectives of anthropogenic materials application in geotechnical engineering are discussed.
