Workshop on Biotechnical Soil & Slope to be held on August 21-23,1991, in Ann Arbor, Michigan

该研讨会的目的是提供一个交流意见和信息的论坛，评估最新技术水平，并确定土壤生物工程系统领域的研究问题和需求。主要的土壤生物工程从业者和专家将讨论考虑到根部和地面其他天然纤维包裹体的增强/稳定作用、耐久性和长期稳定性、联合使用植被和合成纺织品、与传统系统的成本效益比较的预测模型。

The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for the exchange of views and information, to assess the state of the art, and to identify research issues and needs in the area of soil bioengineering systems. Predictive models accounting for the reinforcing/stabilizing role of roots and other natural fibrous inclusions in the ground, durability and long term stability, conjunctive use of vegetation and synthetic textiles, cost effectiveness comparisons with conventional systems will be discussed by leading soil bioengineering practitioners and experts.
