Book Description
Böschungen als geneigte Erdoberflächen kommen überall vor. Sie werden bearbeitet und so der Zustand verändert. Damit müssen auch die Auswirkungen dieser Veränderungen betrachten und sich eine Gewissheit über die Sicherheit der Böschungen verschaffen werden. Erst mit dieser Kenntnis sollten Veränderungen durchgeführt werden um so auch deren Auswirkung die Umgebung abschätzen zu können. Baugruben werden immer tiefer und näher an Nachbarbauten gelegt. Es werden Verfahren angewendet, die den Sicherheitserfordernissen entsprechen. Die wirtschaftlichen Anforderungen lassen oft riskante Verfahren in den Blickwinkel kommen. Es sollte jedoch neben der Kosten besonders die Sicherheit für alle Bauwerke im Vordergrund stehen.
