Steep Slope Stabilization Using Environmentally Sound Techniques
Presented by: Ted Gray, P.E., Eco-Hydrologist | Living Waters Consultants
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: On-Demand
This course will help you to more effectively evaluate slope failure areas and to conduct the necessary field investigations to support site design. Environmentally sound techniques are emphasized in order to provide a variety of project benefits including aesthetics, soil stability, improved water quality, reduced runoff, and increased species diversity. Case studies are reviewed and provide insight and practical applications of design strategies and methods. Steep slope stabilization successes and failures are included. Case studies with a range of field conditions and design solutions are emphasized.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain design considerations for reinforced slopes.
- Recognize factors influencing stability on steep slopes.
- Evaluate environmentally sound solutions for steep slope stability.
- Give examples of case study successes.
- Identify Case Study Failures and explain lessons learned from the failure.
