This work is mainly intended to investigate the flysch landslide reinforcement measures used in the Smokovac-Mateševo section of the North-South Expressway project in Montenegro. Bentley's Plaxis software is used for a numerical analysis of sliding surface parameters of flysch strata in the limit equilibrium state. This study analyzes the slope safety factor for rreinforcement measures such as rock bolts, retaining walls, anti-sliding piles, slope unloading and bolt anchoring and obtains an optimal combination of reinforcement application for the flysch landslide. The effects of seismic action on complex stress and the discontinuous stress boundary conditions arising from various reinforcement measures on landslide stability are also examined. The measures applied in this paper can be used as a reference for flysch landslide reinforcement or other similar slope engineering measures.
