Performance assessment of a soil and water bioengineering work on the basis of the flora development and its associated ecosystem processes

A Novel Integrated Design Methodology for Nature-Based Solutions and Soil and Water Bioengineering Interventions: The Tardio&Mickovski Methodology

“…(c) Case studies analyzed during the Ecomed project [14]. (d) Bioengineering works analyzed in Wolff Kettenhuber et al [76]. (e) Time framework included in Fernandes and Guiomar [77].…”

“…The outer log row is considered as the most critical from both durability and bending stress aspects [82] because of its exposure to the climate and loading. The inner row of logs will be subjected to both a lower temperature and moisture variation throughout the year and, at that depth, the level of oxygen will be lower and, therefore, the biotic activity will be lower [76]. Finally, from a bending analysis point of view, the outer row does not have soil in front counteracting the soil thrust, unlike the inner row.…”
