Background: Trees and forests have been used in New Zealand to reduce erosion, particularly from rainfall–triggered landslides, gullying, earthflows. Most tree root research has conducted during the life of Journal Forestry Science, with much published it. Methods: We undertook a retrospective ‘review’ focusing on soil reinforcement its application for erosion control, slope stability assessmen...

In seasonally frozen soil regions, the influence of temperature change on reinforced-soil engineering cannot be ignored. particular, mechanical properties interface have an important impact overall stability and long-term service performance reinforced engineering. To explore characteristics reinforcement mechanism between geogrids coarse-grained under negative temperatures, this paper takes ty...

conventional investigations on the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soils are often investigated at the failure point. in this paper, a new concept of comparison of the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soil by estimating the strength and strength ratio (deviatoric stress of reinforced sample to unreinforced sample) at various strain levels is proposed. a comprehensive set of labor...

This work studied slopes with different geometric situations. The purpose is to select types of soil for embankment construction stabilise the site by using nearby accessible filling materials. Then, PLAXIS-2D software was used including five (6) phases sequential calculation such as soil, structure, mesh generation, conditions flow and stage use Vetiver grass embakment stability reinforcement....
