BIOTECHNICAL AND SOIL BIOENGINEERING SLOPE STABILIZATION PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR EROSION CONTROL
BIOTECHNICAL AND SOIL BIOENGINEERING SLOPE STABILIZATION: PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR EROSION CONTROL by Donald H Gray, hardback. Biotechnical slope stabilization and soil bioengineering are techniques that use plants to stabilize slopes and prevent soil erosion. They are preferable to traditional structures because they are cost-effective, attractive, and much better for the environment. This book examines these popular methods for dealing with erosion control and slope stabilization problems.
Contents: Introduction to Biotechnical Stabilization. Surficial Erosion and Mass Movement. Role of Vegetation in the Stability of Slopes. Principles of Biotechnical and Soil Bioengineering Stabilization. Structural--Mechanical Components of Biotechnical Stabilization. Vegetative Components and Considerations. Soil Bioengineering Stabilization: Techniques and Methods. Biotechnical Stabilization: Guidelines for Vegetative Treatment of Revetments and Retaining Structures. Biotechnical Ground Covers. New Developments and Future Directions in Biotechnical Stabilization. Appendices.
