Hydraulic scouring resistance characteristics of geosynthetics reinforced slopes
Rainfall-induced hydraulic scouring induced by rainfall is a significant factor contributing to slope instability and failure. To elucidate the impact mechanisms of various geosynthetic reinforcement methods on the hydraulic stability of slopes
laboratory slope hydraulic scour model tests were conducted. Comparative studies were performed on four slope configurations: unreinforced (J1)
geotextile reinforced (J2)
geotextile and geogrid composite reinforced (J3)
and geotextile and geocell composite reinforced (J4). The results indicate that reinforcement materials improve slope hydraulic response characteristics
reduce overall moisture content
and enhance slope stability and drainage performance. Geosynthetic reinforcement reduces both the rate of accumulation and the stabilized value of pore water pressure
significantly diminishing slope earth pressure
settlement
and soil loss. Among the variants
J4 demonstrated the most pronounced effect
followed by J3
while J2 showed relatively weaker performance. Composite reinforcement system enhances slope resistance to erosion
with J4 delivering optimal protective effect in hydraulic erosion tests. The findings offer a reference for selecting geosynthetic reinforcement methods and for studying the mechanisms of slope resistance to hydraulic erosion.
