Summary: Primary geotechnical problems encountered today are ones relatedto slope stability and underground openings. This is a result oftechnological advances enabling construction of structures ofincreasingly non-standard dimensions. The stability problem forartificial and natural slopes is analyzed through investigationof existing structures (landslides, dams, transport facilities,etc.). A particular accent is placed on drainage as a method forincreasing the level of slope stability. Mathematical proceduresfor analyzing landslide stability in two-dimensional andthree-dimensional conditions are defined. The issue of solvingstability problem of underground openings consists of defining anappropriate methodology using integral design methods, optimizinginvestigation works and establishing a proper balance with theprocessing level, i.e. with the empirical, analytic andmonitoring approach.

Keywords: enginnering geology, soil mechanics, rock mechanics, slope, dam, tunnel, model, drainage, classification, measurement
