Selection of membranes and linking method in slope stabilization systems for the reduction on the installation time using multi-criteria decision analysis

Flexible systems anchored to the ground are low visual impact alternatives to be used in slope protection. With the aim of reducing their installation time and costs the mechanical union between layers of membranes is proposed to be done in warehouses instead of independent installations on site. Th...
