Methods of erosion and slope processes protection of the road scarps and engineering structures (on the example of Moscow circle highway)

Abstract

The protection of Scarps is very important task in road building. The development of erosion and slope processes is the main cause of the destruction of road embankments and different engineering structures. Field researches carried out -at the Moscow ring highway have shown that existing methods of slope protection are far from excellence The description of alternative method of protection worked out by "NPO Ecolandshaft" is represented in this paper. This method provides efficient engineering and bioengineering protection of slopes, engineering structures and landscapes against erosion and other dangerous natural and man-induced processes.
