Biomechanics and Utility of Shallow Soil Fixation by Sabina Valgaris Ant. Roots in Arid and Semiarid Soils
Aim: To investigate the biomechanical ability and utility of Sabina valgaris Ant. roots for soil fixation in arid and semiarid coal mining regions. Methods: Direct rapid shear and tensile strengths of shallow soil (~1.5 m) root samples were examined at 12.5 kPa, 25 kPa, 50 kPa, and 100 kPa. Results:...
