ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: For the proposal of a comprehensive assessment and possible remedial action it is necessary to know the actual barrier, engineering and geological conditions of the body and subsoil of a levee. This paper considers the failure of a levee along the right bank of the Laborec River caused by floods in 2010, addressing the assessment of the stability of the levee in interaction with the subsoil and its possible remediation. The calculation of the factor of safety was made using GEO 5 software. The critical factors of safety have been determined by Petterson and Bishop Methods. The paper presents various solutions to ensure slope stability of protection levee. The best solution was proposal additional load of the slope heel with well graded gravel (GW)—Variant IV.
