Scientific developments and practical applications.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong>Ten multidisciplinary experts will convene in Barcelona to discuss the future of bioengineering as part of the ReRoot<\/em> project<\/a>. This effort, coordinated by CIMNE, aims to revolutionize slope stability remediation methods by harnessing the power of vegetation as a stabilizing agent. <\/p>\n The ReRoot project, finishing in November 2024, sought to develop, validate, and demonstrate a new computational open-source platform for modelling soil-root interaction, while also conducting multiscale targeted experiments to elucidate the connection between hydraulic and mechanical reinforcement effects.<\/p>\n This initiative aims to advance our understanding of bioengineering's potential for gravity-driven mass movement stabilization and disseminate this technology within the Spanish engineering community.<\/p>\n The symposium is organized by CIMNE's Dr. Laura Gonzalez-Blanco<\/strong><\/a> and Prof. Marcos Arroyo<\/strong><\/a> (Geomechanics RTD Group<\/a>).<\/p>\nABSTRACT<\/strong><\/h5>\n
