Equivalent Root-Reinforcement Effects of Four Vegetation Covers on Fine-Grained Andean Slope Stability Under Elevated Groundwater, Surcharge, and Pseudo-Static Loading: LEM and FEM Analyses

Slope stability in vegetated hillslopes depends on groundwater, geometry, external loading, soil properties, and root reinforcement. This study evaluated a low-plasticity clayey silt (CL–ML) from Loja, Ecuador, under bare soil, Eucalyptus, Pine, Vetiver, and Kikuyu covers. Direct shear tests on root-containing specimen...

Perceived Urban Vulnerability to Slope Instability in a Road Corridor: A Hazard Sources–Exposed Elements–Response Capacity Assessment in Loja, Ecuador

Slope instability in urban road corridors can generate cascading effects on mobility, road safety, infrastructure functionality, and local response systems. This study assessed perceived urban vulnerability to landslide-related instability along the Vía de Integración Barrial corridor in Loja, Ecuador, using a hazard s...
