Análise da eficácia de técnicas de bioengenharia na estabilização de taludes utilizadas no Brasil

Abstract

The slopes often face instability issues, and bioengineering techniques have been recognized as alternatives to stabilize them. This work proposes to investigate the effectiveness of bioengineering techniques in slope stability within the geotechnical and environmental context of Brazil. To do so, cases in Brazil where these techniques were employed were analyzed, and a critical analysis was conducted, based on a bibliographic review, with a focus on the book "Slope Stabilization and Erosion Control: A Bioengineering Approach" by authors Styczen and Morgan (1995), and other relevant complementary research sources. The results showed the effectiveness of bioengineering techniques in slope stabilization in Brazil, highlighting their contribution to reducing geotechnical risks and promoting sustainability. The analyses also emphasized the importance of considering the specificities of the environment and the limitations of the techniques, as well as the importance of strategies suitable for the Brazilian context for a safe application of the techniques in civil engineering projects in Brazil.
