The geotechnical properties of soils (clays of the Brusarci Formation and loess complex) spread over the area of Danube right bank between the town of Kozloduy and the village of Gorni Tsibar have been determined. Complex landslides and river erosion are the most important geodynamic processes in the study area. Engineering geological zoning has been carried out, with two separated zones. The second zone is characterized with most complicated geotechnical conditions due to distribution of both old landslides and recently landslide activation in some sub-zones.
