ABSTRACT
This paper presents the experiences on a redevelopment of a landslide in South Black Forest. A big part of a hillside was sliding with velocities up to 90cm/year downstream and endangered a building located above the creep zone. To reduce the movement of the soil masses, a doweling of the hillside was executed. The redevelopment consists of a serie of piles, that are embedded in the stable underground and anchored backwards at the pile caps. Due to the support at both ends of the pile, the load distribution is advantageous and enables an economic design of the piles. The analytical formulations used to determine the forces in the dowels will be reflected and the success of the redevelopment will be verified by results of measurements and calculations with the FEM.
