EROSION CONTROL TEST OF EMBANKMENT SLOPE WITH ARTIFICIAL RAINFALL

Soils constituting the embankment consist of sandy weathered granite susceptible to erosion. Grass covering is an effective method for slope erosion control, but it takes a long time to cover the slope totally. It is more effective to protect slopes against erosion by strengthening the face or shoulder of slope and distributing the runoff water all over the slope surface. Several protecting methods against soil erosion were tried on an embankment slope, where erosion control tests were made with artificial rain.
