Ground Bioengineering Techniques

This book, the first of a pair of volumes on bioengineering techniques, shows how vegetation can be used for the engineering and ecological enhancement of earth structures. Vegetation provides protection and stabilisation of both natural and manmade slopes along transportation routes (such as motorways) and for industrial, housing and leisure facilities. Planning and implementation; Ground bioengineering construction methodology; Ground bioengineering techniques for protecting and stabilising slopes; Composite construction techniques; Care and maintenance of structures; Glossary

Hugo Meinhard Schiechtl and Roland Stern are the authors of Ground Bioengineering Techniques: For Slope Protection and Erosion Control, published by Wiley. This book, the first of a pair of volumes on bioengineering techniques, shows how vegetation can be used for the engineering and ecological enhancement of earth structures. This provides protection and stabilisation of both natural and man-made slops along transportation routes, such as motorways, and for industrial, housing and leisure facilities.
