Experimental research on protecting the slope of the land line from the process of erosion using geosynthetic materials

Abstract

The ground surface is simultaneously affected by various forces and natural processes. One of these processes is erosion. During the erosion process, the ground surface may experience varying degrees of washing away due to the effects of wind and water, leading to the formation of small rivulets and moderate-sized gullies. This phenomenon depends on several factors, such as soil type, terrain slope, the amount of precipitation in the area, and wind speed.
There are numerous methods used worldwide to protect the ground surface from erosion. This article examines the application of geosynthetic materials, which are widely used globally, and the planting of desert vegetation (a biological method) to protect the railway embankment from erosion in the desert regions of the Bukhara-Misken railway, a crucial section of Uzbekistan Railways.
The results of experimental research demonstrated the effectiveness of these measures in protecting the railway embankment slopes from erosion.
