    Special purpose engineering geological maps of slope failures in Slovakia
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2010) Baliak, František; Striček, Igor
    The territory of Slovakia is characteristic with extremely frequent occurrences of various types of slope failures. Especially landslides are one of the major geotechnical problems in Slovakia. The landslides significantly affect building and operation of large amounts of transport, watermanagement and underground constructions. Results of regional research of slope stability of certain areas are perfectly illustrated in the special purpose engineering-geological maps of slope failures, which are usually made in scales from 1:5000 to 1:50 000. Slope failure maps can be classified by the content, type of compilation and their purpose. The most prevalent are large scale (M = 1:10 000) maps of engineering geological conditions and medium scale (M = 1:50 000) landslide susceptibility maps. Special purpose engineering geological maps of slope failures appear to be the most appropriate information for investors, city planners and developers.
