Abstract:Bioengineering stabilization of slope is restricted to shallow slope soil beneath slope surface 1 meter, therefore root reinforcement can In order to improve the stability of slope, root-cable-gabion net flexible system is developed to control progressive deformation of slope, i.e., when flexible gabion net retaining wall is pushed forward by slope soil, steel cable linked between trees and the wall will pull root system, while root system is an anchorage. Therefore slope soil at foot is compressed rather than in shear and progressive deformation of slope and flexible retaining wall is constrained. Mechanical and finite element analyses are performed on the root-cable-gabion net system adaptively stabilized slope. The results show that due to the flexibility of gabion net retaining wall, root-cable-gabion net system can effectively limit and reduce the progressive deformation of slope and maintain the slope stable.
