Harnessing Geotextiles to Combat Erosion on Steep Hills
Erosion on steep hills presents significant environmental and structural challenges, leading to loss of fertile soil and increased risk of landslides. This article explores how geotextiles, innovative materials used in civil engineering, offer a sustainable solution to these issues. The goal of such structures is to act as erosion control blankets that cover a large area of the soil on a steep hillside. By delving into the mechanics of geotextiles, we’ll understand their role in erosion control and slope stability.
