Low-Logistic Erosion Control Methodologies
Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth review of certain slope stability practices discussed in ERDC/GSL TR-19-44, a technical report titled Erosion Control of Earth Covered Magazines to Maintain Minimum Cover Requirements. At the request of the sponsor, US Army Engineering and Support Center, this document specifically focuses on cost-efficient, low-logistic methods of erosion control such as shotcrete and spray-applied stabilizers. As described in ERDC/GSL TR-19-44, earth-covered magazines (ECMs) must maintain a minimum soil cover to meet specified safety regulations. Even when adequately constructed, soil movement over time can be of concern and may lead to lack of appropriate cover. ERDC/GSL TR-19-44 gives broad descriptions of multiple techniques of interest to alleviate these issues, while this document serves to focus on methods that are perceived to be of highest interest. These techniques are therefore described in a narrower but deeper scope. In order to ascertain whether these techniques are appropriate for the project requirements, focus will be on soil and erosion movement control rather than traditional slope-stability structural needs.
