Study on Ecological Mini-Aggregations Based on Polymer Composite Materials

Abstract

In order to explore an efficient slope soil ecological restoration method that is environmentally friendly and conducive to plant growth, this paper conducted a study on ecological aggregations based on polymer composite materials. This paper developed ecological mini-aggregations, including ecological mini-clusters and ecological mini-bags, which can be used for the restoration of slopes with different steepnesses and surfaces. The developed materials are environmentally friendly and have good ecological performance. To study the mechanical stability, erosion resistance, and ecological performance of the ecological mini-aggregations, we conducted laboratory erosion resistance stability tests, shear strength tests, and plant growth tests, and variance analysis of the test result data was conducted to reveal the effects and laws of the aggregation materials. The results show that the mechanical stability of ecological mini-aggregations is strong, the erosion resistance is high, and the ecological performance is favorable. The performance is sufficient for slope soil ecological restoration, and there is an optimal material ratio for the addition of materials to ecological mini-aggregations. The above research revealed the mechanism controlling polymer composite materials in the development of ecological mini-aggregations; these materials can be included to create ecological mini-aggregations that exhibit strong erosion resistance stability and ecological performance. These research results can provide new technical means for the efficient ecological restoration of slopes.
