Slope Stabilization Guide for Minnesota Local Government Engineers

Status: Complete
Report Date: 06/15/2017

Summary:

Researchers identified 14 sites representing destabilized roadway slopes in Minnesota. Following site investigations, lab testing and modeling, researchers recommended eight slope stabilization techniques that local engineers can undertake without the help of outside geotechnical engineers. The methods were packaged in a simple, accessible field guide for county engineers.
