【 摘 要 】

This paper aims to present an ecological solution for stabilizing a sliding slope located near a saltwater lake, by using mixed wooden-concrete piles. Aspects about major disadvantage of wood degradation due to watering and drying were discussed since 1920. Today, due to a massive deforestation in Romania, ecological organizations are trying to limit the wood exploitation as global warming effects are becoming more and more obvious year after year. Therefore, by using mixed wooden-concrete piles, the life expectancy of a wooden structure is extended with about 80 years. This combination of wood and concrete could save natural and non-renewable materials consumption by extending the life of existing ones or, simply, by designing sustainable piles. The present research study includes a series of calculations and computer tests in order to determine the exactly dimension of the piles and their effect on slope stability.
