What is Time-dependency Deterioration of Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Soil and Guar Gum Mixed Soil in Loess Cut-slope Protecting about?
Ecological materials are increasingly being applied in the loess slope protection, and the time-dependency deterioration of materials is an important criterion in evaluating their protective effects. Taking polypropylene fiber and guar gum as examples, the protection tests of these two ecological materials were carried out for a typical bare cut-slope on the Loess Plateau in this study. We quantified the erosion deterioration based on the approach of LiDAR, and the deterioration processes of both the ecological materials were then comprehensively evaluated. Results showed that both the materials could generate good protective effects on the test slopes, and the guar gum mixed soil (GGS) was slightly better than polypropylene fiber reinforced soil (PFS) at initial time. However, the two materials deteriorated diversely with the increasing service time. The scouring erosion was mainly observed in PFS, which is different from the surface spalling observed in GGS. The erosion mass of the two slopes also presented different stepwise growth along the slope downward. In addition, the protective advantage of GGS was decreasing and even disappearing over time.
