Slope Protection against Rainfall #geotechnicalengineering #civilengineering #soilmechanics

Without vegetation, soil on steep slopes can be susceptible to the effects of rain. Rainwater will permeate the soil and make it wet and weak. This can decrease the strength of soil and the overall slope stability, resulting in a landslide or erosion. In such cases, the slope should be covered by impermeable material to prevent water from going into the soil.
