Slope Stabilization
Slope stabilization refers to techniques used to prevent soil erosion and landslides on inclined surfaces. This process is essential in areas where natural or human activities may weaken the soil structure, leading to potential hazards. Methods include vegetation planting, retaining walls, and drainage systems, which help maintain the integrity of the slope.
Effective slope stabilization not only protects the environment but also ensures the safety of infrastructure, such as roads and buildings. By using materials like geotextiles and rock bolts, engineers can enhance the stability of slopes, reducing the risk of soil movement and promoting sustainable land use.
