Study on Hydraulic Characteristics of Interlocking Concrete Blocks with Ecological Flood-Control Function

Article Preview

Abstract:

Through simulation research on hydraulic characteristics of precast interlocking concrete blocks, the stress condition, overall stability, the effect of filling gravels into the holes of the blocks in the water flow during the flood period and the resistance parameters of the blocks were studied, a comprehensive analysis on the mechanical stability and the scour-resisting characteristics of the blocks was made, and then the requirement and the safety degree of the gravel filling were given. The experiment shows that compared with the surface protection of the conventional dyke projects, besides convenience for manufacture at low cost, this new type of protective revetment has such merits as higher anti-shear stress, better stability and permeability as well as improving ecological environment in river course.
