Abstract
The lignite workings in the former German Democratic Republic have left many residual holes of sometimes colossal scale The artificial or natural flooding of these 50–70 m deep holes causes serious stability problems in sand slopes and already fatalities have been reported as a result of the sudden initiation of flow slides The paper describes the soil mechanics of the flow slides which endanger the edge of the holes and the measures taken to stabilise the slopesLes exploitations de lignite à ciel ouvert de l’ancienne République démocratique allemande ont laissé de nombreuses excavations de taille parfois considérable L’inondation artificielle ou naturelle de ces excavations profondes de 50 à 70 m cause des problèmes importants de stabilité relatifs aux talus de sable Déjà des accidents mortels ont eu lieu suite à des déclenchements soudains de glissementscoulées L’article décrit d’une part les processus de génération de ces glissementscoulées qui rendent dangereux les abords de ces excavations et d’autre part les mesures prises pour stabiliser les talus
