Soil bioengineering using vegetation is an environmentally friendly solution to maintain the
stability of shallow earthen slopes. To explore the microscopic mechanical reinforcement …

Vegetation is widely used for reinforcing slopes, and thus controlling shallow landslides,
because plant root systems can increase soil shear strength by anchoring soil layers and …

Many embankments and cut slopes in the United Kingdom are prone to shallow slope
failures as they are often constructed of or within stiff over consolidated clays, which soften …

To explore the effect of grass and shrub plant roots on the stability of soil slopes in rainy
areas in the south, this article relies on the Longlang Expressway construction project …

Bioengineering approaches provide cost-effective ways to protect slopes against surface
erosion and shallow mass movements. Indeed, vegetation is an excellent way to control …

In the stability analysis of hillside slopes, the roots of vegetation have been considered to act
as a soil reinforcement. In order to predict the amount of increase in soil shear resistance …

There is a large number of loose soil slopes backfilled with silty sand in southern China that
are prone to landslide hazard under rainfall. Recently, herbaceous plants have been …

Aims Plant roots play an important role in the stability of the slope. The efficiency of the
vegetation in the slope stability relies on the planting layout on the slope. Vegetation located …

Background and aims Technology involving the use of plants on slopes to prevent shallow
landslides and slope instability has been extensively used worldwide. A reasonable …

The impact of reinforcing vegetation roots on the stability of expansive soil slopes with
moisture absorption and expansion was investigated. Then, poinsettia is selected as the …
