CIRIA’s Research Project 441 'Field trial and demonstration site for bio-engineering', undertaken over the period 1991-1995 and Research Project 536 'Bioengineering: M20 - medium-term monitoring', from 1995 to 1998, followed from CIRIA’s earlier publication, B10 The use of vegetation in civil engineering. The project was conceived as a live trial, where the effects of vegetation on the stability of slopes could be demonstrated for the benefit of the engineering community and its clients. The research was not able to continue at Longham Wood as the site was taken over by the route of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link in mid-1998. This report supersedes CIRIA Special Publication 128, Bioengineering: a field trial, and covers the following aspects of the project:
The open publication will be supported by a large volume of numerical data, collected during the monitoring periods. This data will be presented in a separate Data Appendix, which will be separately available from CIRIA on CD-ROM. Key words: ground engineering, materials, transport infrastructure.
