Influence of participation of root system and earth on slope stability

Plan for stabilization of endangered slopes of reservoirs often receives little attention during project stage of preparation of water structures. Many of the potentially endangered slopes can be preventively stabilized with the use of vegetational or biotechnological stabilizations.The article deal...

description Plan for stabilization of endangered slopes of reservoirs often receives little attention during project stage of preparation of water structures. Many of the potentially endangered slopes can be preventively stabilized with the use of vegetational or biotechnological stabilizations.The article deals with the problem of determining value of root cohesion as one of the important factors in participation of root systems of woody plants in earthfill bodies. It is an analysis of impact of various factors which influence the functionality of the root system within the process of improving the slope stability.Mainly foreign authors dealing with theoretical as well as practical determination of root strength va­lues are introduced in the article.
