Testing of 3-Dimensional Stabilizing Elements for Protection of Slopes: Possibilities of In Situ Testing

Abstract:

The testing results obtained during investigation of 3D mat are presented in the article. The spatial mat is designed to provide a cheap, efficient and durable soil stabilization on slopes. The testing was focused on development of suitable methods to be used when assessing foil properties on-site. The tested samples were extracted from mats that were used for soil stabilization at the location of mine Nástup Tušimice (Company Severočeské doly, Czech Republic) and exposed to external environment and weathering for 2 years. The performance of the mats was compared with reference samples from unused mats stored for 2 years in laboratory conditions. The testing revealed that deterioration of the material is negligible over the period of 2 years.
