Schor, Donald H. Gray[electronic resource]Hoboken, N.J. John Wiley & Sonsc20071 online resource (xiv, 354 p. )ill. ;Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-471-72179-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction to landform grading and revegetation -- Surficial erosion and mass wasting of slopes -- Influence of vegetation on hillside stability -- Influence of topography on slope stability and hydrology -- Geomorphic evolution of slopes -- Hillside grading fundamentals -- Principles of landform grading -- Essential design elements for slope forms and landforms -- Implementation of the landform grading plan -- Public and regulatory response to landform grading -- Landforming projects--watershed restoration and mining reclamation -- Landforming projects--hillside development and mass-grading applications."Landform grading provides a cost-effective, attractive, and environmentally compatible way to construct slopes and other landforms that are stable and that blend in with the natural surroundings. Landform grading design and construction technology have advanced rapidly during the past decade, and this book explains the technique, its uses, its various applications, and its significant advantages. Landforming: An Environmental Approach to Hillside Development, Mine Reclamation and Watershed Restoration, presents the first comprehensive and practical guidebook to the innovative techniques of landform grading and revegetation. Written in straightforward language and liberally illustrated with informative photographs and schematic drawings, the text should prove of value to practicing professionals in such diverse fields as land planning, civil and geotechnical engineering, landscape architecture, and geology as well as to personnel in a variety of local, state and federal regulatory agencies and environmental interest groups"--From publisher description.Soil stabilizationGrading (Earthwork)Soil conservationSoil-binding plantsLandscape constructionSoil stabilizationSoil conservationSoil-binding plantsLandscape constructionCivil EngineeringHILCCCivil & Environmental EngineeringHILCCEngineering & Applied SciencesHILCCElectronic booksSoil stabilization.Grading (Earthwork)Soil conservation.Soil-binding plants.Landscape construction.Soil stabilizationSoil conservationSoil-binding plantsLandscape constructionCivil EngineeringCivil & Environmental EngineeringEngineering & Applied Sciences624.1/52Schor Horst J.1938-893548Gray Donald H306042DLCDLCBTCTABAKERYDXCPC#PAGLDLCBOOK9910144529703321Landforming1996075UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
