Influence of Rainfall on Slope Stability at Egnatia Highway, Asprovalta-Strymonas Part (Chainage 9+700)

摘要

In the present paper, the influence of water on a slope under construction is studied. The slope is located along the Egnatia Road in the Asprovalta-Strymonas region (chainage 9+700) (Fig.1). The study area is geotechnically located in the Serbo-Makedonian zone. It consists of weathered biotitic gneiss, lenses of blue and white marble. Ophiolitic intercalation consisting of peridotite, serpentinite and sipoline also exists (Dixon & Dimitriadis, 1984).
