Design of structures in medium or extremely sloped terrains is a demanding and challenging engineering task. Depending on the depth of foundations of the future buildings, different methods of securing foundation pit sides are used. Extremely high vertical excavations cannot utilize the standard methods of securing ground stability (use of “L” segments) so somewhat more complicated and demanding solutions must be found. This paper shows the method of temporary securing of the vertical excavation during the building construction, using the prestressed geotechnical anchors in combination with the RC frame, on the example of the Apartment complex in Montenegro.
