SHIFTING PROCESSES IN THE CITY OF DNIPRO AND DNIPROPETROVSK REGION

Abstract

The analysis of landslide processes in the city of Dnipro and the Dnipropetrovsk region was carried out. It was found that landslides occupy a dominant position among exogenous geological processes due to their significant distribution, especially in the territories of intensive economic use. Their activation has significant negative consequences due to the speed of development and significant deformation and destruction of buildings and structures. The development of landslide processes on the territory of the city of Dnipro and the Dnipropetrovsk region is determined by the peculiarities of the geological and hydrogeological conditions of certain areas. The modern activation of landslides is associated with the manifestation of accompanying processes - erosion and abrasion. Also, the intensification of landslides is influenced by human economic activity, which is caused by additional loads, trimming of slopes during construction works, creation of dynamic loads, etc. The process of landslide formation on the right bank of the Dnieper and its right tributaries became particularly active. The total number of landslides and landslide areas is 382 units, of which 133 landslides are in the city of Dnipro. The largest number of landslides is observed in the cities of Dnipro and Kamianske. In the city of Dnipro, landslide-hazardous zones are located near ravines. Landslides occur in Aptekarska Balka due to the following reasons: increase in the steepness of the slope; washing slopes with water; weakening of rock strength due to waterlogging by atmospheric precipitation and underground water; construction and economic activity. One of the environmental problems of Aptekarska balka is the dumping of garbage into the beam. Along Aptekarska balka are the residential streets of Bohdanova and Tokarna, the buildings of which suffer the most from landslides. As a design proposal, it is proposed to strengthen the sliding slopes in Aptekarska Balka, Dnipro, by means of a retaining wall made of gabions.
