Abstract:

Soil-bioengineering, or simply “bioengineering”, is the use of vegetation for slope stabilization. Currently, a large number of slopes near Ohio highways are experiencing stability problems. These failures usually begin as local erosion or shallow mass movements on a slope face, which become progressively worse with time and often eventually threaten the highway. At this time, the slope requires a significant and costly repair using conventional engineering methods, such as slope reconstruction or a retaining structure. Substantial cost savings would be possible if a method were developed to stabilize early small failures before they grow into larger problems. Such a method would be even more attractive if it was beneficial to the environment at the same time.
