Effect of Compaction, Reinforcement and Reclamation as a Protection of Slopes Against Erosion in Road Engineering Earthworks

The development of building engineering, both transport, hydrotechnical and industrial as well as housing induces the growth of the volume of earth mass at the building sites, which cause the need for a proper protection against destructive influence of water from precipitation and snow melting. The increase of the volume of earth works directly influences their technology, characterized with translocation of large amounts of mass. The paper presents characteristics of reclamation and earth works with emphasis on preparing escarps of earth buildings to their natural finishing.
