Description for Slope Stability and Erosion Control
Hardback. Aims to assist in choosing ecotechnological solutions for slopes that are prone to a variety of mass movements like shallow failure or erosion. This title reviews the types of problematic slopes that may occur and describes briefly the nature of mass movements and the causes of these movements. Editor(s): Norris, Joanne E.; Stokes, Alexia; Mickovski, Slobodan B.; Cammeraat, Erik; Beek, Rens van; Nicoll, Bruce C.; Achim, Alexis. Num Pages: 288 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RNF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 17. Weight in Grams: 1310.
This chapter describes the processes involved in the transport of material over hillslopes. Hillslopes provide the gradients enabling material to be transported from the slopes themselves towards the valley bottoms, directly by gravity alone, or by water flowing down over the surface. Gravity has the potential to transfer material downslope if the material resistance to counteact it is insufficient. Similarly, water and wind flowing along the surface exert a drag on soil particles and have the potential to entrain material. After the gradient has fallen below a critical threshold to keep the material in tra- port, deposition occurs. Conventionally, slope ... Read more
