Abstract
The proportion of durable soil areas is steadily decreasing for some reasons such as drought, erosion, landslide and excessive rain fall in the all world. Therefore, usable areas are steadily reducing and the significance of usable land is increasing due to the rapid increase in construction. The importance of slope stabilization is increased because sloping terrains (slope) are more easily affected by such problems and as a result of these effects they lose their use of function. Today, slump and sliding problems of human-made or natural slopes have become an important topic in many disciplines and many different strengthening methods have been developed to solve these problems. In this study, plant applications as an important method for strengthening grounds and slopes are dealt and slope stabilization based on different plant species and their effects on retaining wall are researched. For this purpose, a sample slope structure with a retaining wall is modeled by using finite element method and the positive and negative effects of Juniperus horizontalis and Pittosporum tenuifolium plants on this model are observed. Results of the finite element analyses show that plant roots on the slopes provide improvements in terms of displacement and stress and plant roots on the surface has a greater effect on the slope stabilization.
