Abstract

The paper presents the sensitive areas of snow avalanches at Kobi - Gudauri section of the Georgian military road in the appropriate GPS coordinates, the areas are marked on a digital map using GIS technologies, based on the field surveys and theoretical studies. The statistical material for snow avalanches formation at Kobi - Gudauri section is assessed and a brief description of the geographical, hydrological and hydraulic parameters of snowpack and avalanche formation is proposed. Using the mentioned material, a geograph- ical location has been selected for the arrangement of the innovative snow avalanche construction, which is located at Kobi-Gudauri section of the Georgian military road, in the vicinity of the so-called Panorama at an average mark of 2500 m above sea level with an average inclination of the slope 240.
