English abstract:
Piles, structures made of piles, and pile-like structures are useful structural elements to support deep excavations and cuts in slopes, and to retain creeping or sliding slopes, not uncommonly in seismic areas. Depending on the static system and the dimensions the structural elements transfer forces mainly by shear ("dowel") and/or mainly by bending ("beam") to the ground. In numerous cases they are particularly effective in combination with other structural measures like (pre-stressed) anchors and/or drainage systems. The paper presents case histories including piles and pile-like structures, which are applied for retaining structures in slopes. The main focus is on infrastructure projects in creeping slopes. Two case histories from Austria and Slovenia are presented in detail. Miscellaneous projects from European countries concentrating on various aspects complement the contribution.
