Abstract

Natural disasters during May 2014 caused a flood of water outside the unregulated bed of the river Tinja in the local area of Gornji Hrgovi. The flood effect affected the undermining and destruction of the foot part of the slope, reactivation and regressive development of the landslide, which was manifested by further secondary “breaking” of the sliding body towards the hypsometrically top part of the slope and intersection of the primary water pipeline. Gravitational displacement of the colluvial material resulted in significant degradation of the agricultural land surface in the central part of the unstable slope, while in the accumulation zone the accumulated slide mass destroyed the earth road communication. Based on the conducted geotechnical researches, determined engineering-geological and hydrogeological composition and properties of the terrain, the zoning of the terrain according to the degree of stability was performed, important recommendations and conditions of the landslide remediation method were presented.
