A Photogrammetric Method to Evaluate the Erosiveness of Fairbanks Silt with Different Treatments
In Alaska, due to surface runoff from snow melt in spring, erosion is one of the most common hazards to cut slope and roadbed slopes. The traditional way to monitor erosion is performed by installing a fence to collect eroded soils carried by runoff. For this method, only total erosion for a specific area, which is the mass percent loss, could be obtained. The total and localized volumetric erosion were not available which made the runoff erosion less representative. In this paper, laboratory tests were performed to investigate the erosiveness of Fairbanks silt with different treatments which included geo-fiber, Envirokleen, and Soil-sement. A photogrammetric method was presented to monitor the runoff erosion which significantly reduced the cost and effort for the erosion monitoring.
