| Abstract: | | 1. |
Provision for stability of slopes is one of the main problems in designing plains PSHS.
| | 2. |
The reasons for occurrence and a  chain reaction of development of landslide phenomena on the south slope of the area of basic structures of the Zagorsk PSHS were peculiarities of its engineering-geological structure that were not properly taken into account in designing and carrying out construction work.
| | 3. |
For the purpose of stabilizing the landslide slope, a system of engineering measures was developed and implemented, including a change in the configuration and structure of the right-bank abutment of the upper-basin levee to the water intake, construction of a banquette, filling of a counterbanquette, draining of moraine loams, grading of the slope, surface water diversion, and monitoring of the state of the slope and elements of the antilandslide protection.
| | 4. |
Data from full-scale observatins indicate the effectiveness of the antilandslide measures that were performed and a state of the slope corresponding to criteria for the hydro development's safe operation.
| | 5. |
Innovative elements of the system of measures to stabilize the south landslide slope of the Zagorsk PSHS are:
|
| – |
the complex nature of measures, providing for the optimum set of criteria with respect to reliability, technological efficiency, construction time, and cost of adjusted expenditures;
| | – |
minimization of one-time and total excavation for the banquette, providing for the least disruption of the slope in the process of construction;
| | – |
draining of moraine loams, which has no known analog;
| | – |
the use of an ejector unwatering system, which provides for minimum adjusted expenditures on construction and operation of the drainage system.
