| Notes | The Siuslaw National Forest contains about 2,100 miles of roads. Sometimes, the roads fail. This article gives the National Forest’s current procedures for “the investigation, analysis, design, and construction administration of welded wire reinforced walls” to prevent roadway collapse and erosion. (p.115) It uses as an example a failure of a road near Canal Creek in the Alsea Basin. The road failed after a heavy rainstorm, and partially collapsed into the Alsea River. There are extensive schematic diagrams of the roadway and the engineering solution. |
