Description :
The AA. present a geotechnical stability analysis for the planar failure of riverbanks, which incorporates the effects of root reinforcement and surcharge for mature stands of woody riparian vegetation. The analysis relies on a new method of representing the root distribution in the soil, which evaluates the effects of the vegetation's position on the bank.
