Abstract:The use of vegetation roots as a nature-based solution against landslides and erosion requires the definition of sample preparation protocols and adoption of equipment that allows testing representative elementary volumes of the whole soil-root system. For this purpose, large cell triaxial compression tests were carried out on fallow and vegetated samples at different degrees of saturation. Samples were prepared by static compaction of a silty sand and seeded with Cynodon dactylon. The hydraulic state during p… Show more
