The article discusses the safety requirements specified in pertinent standards and recommendations for designing civil engineering objects, with particular emphasis on earth structures intended for vehicle traffic. The focus was on the following issues: the essence of reliability and durability of the structure and ensuring safety at the stage of designing vehicle traffic embankments with a slope supported with the use of a retaining wall and embankments placed on a substrate characterized by insufficient bearing capacity. The procedure for designing traffic embankments on weak ground, reinforcing weak ground and designing retaining structures (on the example of a reinforced soil massif) was carried out in accordance with the calculations pertaining to the field of geo-engineering, applying general analytical dependencies.
