ecological slope protection

Fig. 1 The status and effectiveness of masonry slope protection measures. The comprehensive overview of the slope (a); Spelling of fallen blocks on conventional spraying concrete layer (b); Locally high and steep slope sections (c); Thicker conventional concrete protective layer (d).

Fig. 2 Detailed design plans for ecological slope protection.

Fig. 3 Construction process of ecological protection technology.

Fig. 4 The changes of chemical properties in ecological concrete over 0 to 360 days. Nitrogen (a); phosphorus (b); potassium(c) and electrical conductivity (d).

Fig. 5 Vegetation recovery on masonry slopes was evaluated at 7 days (a); 28 days (b); 180 days(c); 360 days (d); 720 days (e); 1080 days (f).

Fig. 6 A comparison between the three types of diseased slopes and those protected by ecological concrete reveals; the diseased slopes exhibit severe surface erosion, which hinders vegetation growth (a); insufficient nutrient content, leading to plant withering and death (b); slope instability, resulting in landslides at the tunnel entrance (c); vegetation growth of slope treated with ecological concrete (d).
