Description
Summary:A number of landslides occurred soon after construction (in 1963) of the section of the railway line M202 Zagreb Main Station - Rijeka, between the Karlovac Main Station and Mrzlo Polje. These landslides have been protected using various local remediation measures. As the sliding intensified in early 2013 due to increased precipitation, quick action was needed to preserve the functionality and safety of the railway section and the structures on the platform above the cutting. This paper therefore chronologically presents landslide remediation phases, starting from investigation works, design preparation, and construction work.
