ABSTRACT:
A process for reinforcing slopes, in which the strength of the slope can be calculated and is durable, and damaging after-effects are avoided. Live plants and/or plant parts forming adventitious roots are used for this purpose, and their minimum diameter, their depth of introduction and modular dimension are determined by means of calculation methods known from soil mechanics depending on the slope angle and the properties of the material of the slope.
