PennDOT District 10 Geotechnical Unit Landslides and Various Geotechnical Topics

Presented by

Douglas J. Zubal, P.E., District Geotech Engineer, PennDOT District 10-0

PennDOT District 10 experienced a very rainy spring in 2024 which resulted in numerous landslides throughout the District. This presentation will discuss current and past landslides in the District, and the techniques used to remediate them. The presentation will also touch on other geotechnical items to consider when designing projects in District 10.
