This study concerned with attempting to develop a laboratory procedure by which products can be evaluated, as quickly as possible after they appear on the market, in order to screen them so that the best ones can be further tested in the field.
Primarily there were two phases to the study, a field phase where the products available were installed on selected test slopes in North Louisiana and observed, and a laboratory phase where the products were installed (1) on plots containing grass seed and fertilizer and observed to obtain seed germination data, and (2) on soil in test pans and tested under a rainfall-simulator to get some comparative soil loss data.
The specific aims of this study were (1) to supply documentation of statistical repeatability and precision of the rainfall-simulator and to document ...
Construction sites rely on erosion control practices to protect bare slopes and prevent soil loss. This study used large scale rainfall simulators to ...
