Abstract

The proposal concerns the securing of a 100 m long section of the rock slope along the lead track at Beroun railway station, where a relatively massive rock block collapsed in June 2016. The rock slope is about 30 m high and its character is mainly determined by the orientation of several discontinuity systems. It was proposed for the most dangerous discontinuities that monitoring elements be used for measuring deformations at least for half a year. Dynamic barriers and protective fences were proposed for the most endangered parts of the slope.
