Application of Retaining Wall in the Control of Flooding and Gully Erosion
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
This research concerned itself with the development of an approach which can be used in the reduction of perennial problems of flooding and gully erosion. It, however, applied the retaining wall as a technological means of reducing flooding and gully erosion. In the analysis, it was established that the retaining wall possesses all the engineering characteristics and potentials that will not only check, reduce, control or eliminate flooding and gully erosion but can be applied in the reclamation of lands already devastated and rendered useless by gully erosion menace.
