Mechanism of Root Reinforcement Involved in Rainfall-Induced Shallow Landslide Mitigation: A Review
Landslides can have devastating consequences, including loss of life, infrastructure destruction, land degradation and natural resource depletion. The rise in the number of landslides points to the unplanned development activities and lack of well-planned mitigation measures. The commonly adopted mitigation techniques have a high carbon footprint resulting in environmental imbalance. Hence, techniques that go hand in hand with the environment need to be properly studied. The major triggering factors, mechanisms involved and the common mitigation techniques for landslides are reviewed from published literature and discussed in detail in this paper which further focuses mainly on the bioengineering techniques for landslide mitigation. The efficiency of bioengineering technique depends on the hydromechanical behavior of the plant roots. On reviewing the effectiveness of plants in enhancing the hydromechanical properties of vegetated soil, it can be concluded that proper bioengineered use of plants of grass species like vetiver can be considered as an effective mitigation technique for shallow slope failures induced by rainfall.
