Abstract: Soil in hilly areas is mostly eroded due to rainfall and wind. There are different types of erosion that takes place in Slopes that are splash erosion Rill erosion, sheet erosion, gully erosion. The severity of erosion is depends on the inclination of slope, intensity of rainfall, duration of rainfall. Mostly Sand and silt will get eroded due to its cohesionless nature. This soil erosion in hilly areas causes severe damage to the vegetation and embankments. So many studies and researches are carried on to control the soil erosion. In this study a laboratory slope model is designed and fabricated for the soil erosion studies and the erosion studies has done on the siruvani hills of whestren ghat soil.
Keywords: Soil Erosion, Rainfall Intensity, Silty sand.
Scope of the Article: Soil-Structure Interaction
