A Study about the Engineering Properties of Vegetation, One of All Factors to Select Vegetation Species for Soil Slope Protection

식물의 공학적 특성을 고려한 토사사면 보호공에서의 식생선정기법 연구

This study reviews the engineering properties of vegetation as one of all factors to select vegetation species for slope protection. The vegetation species mainly applied in domestic soil slope protection were inspected, and the root properties such as root pattern, root length, root weight, were analyzed. And then direct shear tests on undisturbed fine sand including roots were performed to review the effect of root reinforcement. From these analyses, it was concluded that the engineering properties of vegetation should be considered to select vegetation species for slope protection.
