Abstract:
1. A method for stabilizing a slope comprising: identifying a slope created by human activity wherein said slope has a surface area bounded by an x-axis and a y-axis, and an acute slope angle that has increased due to human activity, wherein said x-axis is equivalent in length to a horizontal length along a bottom of said surface area, and is substantially parallel to a horizontal plane at said bottom of said slope, and wherein said y-axis is perpendicular to said x-axis resting on said slope surface, and is equivalent in length to said slope; determining a surface area of said slope by multiplying said x-axis length by said y-axis length; calculating a sufficient number of plate piles needed to create a series of alternating rows covering said surface area in a diamond-shaped lattice pattern, transporting said calculated number of plate piles to said slope; inserting a plurality of plate piles below the surface of said slope in a series of alternating rows to create said diamond-shaped lattice pattern covering said slope.
