Research on the Ecological Slope Protection with Aqueous Polymer Soil Stabilizer

Abstract:

In this paper, a technology of ecological slope protection with aqueous polymer soil stabilizers is introduced. A clayey soil slope located in the Nanjing Pukou area in China is taken as a test field and a kind of aqueous polymer soil stabilizer, namely STW, are used. STW is developed by the research group of authors. The test field is divided into four regions based on the slope gradient, and one of regions, as a contrasting area, is no any soil stabilizer. The implementing process of this technology is also presented. The field test indicates that STW polymer soil stabilizer are very effective for improving the water-stability and anti-erosion of the soil slope and promoting the vegetation growth on the slope and is worth popularizing for water-soil prevention in the slope areas due to its simple implementation, low cost and ecological protection effect. Finally, the ecological slope protection mechanism of the aqueous polymer soil stabilizers is discussed.
