“…Traditional stabilizers include slag (Wild et al, 1998;Gao et al, 2021), coal furnace fly ash (Kolias et al, 2005;Show et al, 2003;Arulrajah et al, 2018;Disfani et al, 2015), cement and lime (Lemaire et al, 2013), cement cellar dust (Baghdadi et al, 1997;Miller and Azad, 2000;Rivard-Lentz et al, 1997), domestic waste incineration slag (Kukko, 2000;Consoli et al, 2019), unconventional additives (Seco et al, 2011;Urena et al, 2013), lignin (Cai et al, 2016), alkaline activators (Cristelo, et al, 2012;Wang, et al, 2019), lime (Little, 1995;Choobbasti, et al, 2010), and calcium carbide residue (Jiang, et al, 2016;Du, et al, 2016). To date, silt stabilization research and practice have made good progress (Indraratna et al, 2012;Kavitha et al, 2015), but there is still much room for improvement, including stabilization effectiveness and cost (Marto et al, 2014;Suksiripattanapong, et al, 2015;Guo et al, 2020b;Wang, et al, 2021b).Based on a new slope protection system of three composite layers [silt and polyacrylamide (SP layer); silt, basalt fibre and polyacrylamide (SBP layer); and silt and basalt fibre (SB layer)], the aim of this study is to explore the anti-infiltration and anti-erosion performances of the composite layers and discuss the thicknesses of the SP, SBP and SB layers by means of mechanical and erosional experiments and the rainfall infiltration and erosion of numerical simulation.…”
