Based on the application and promotion of polypropylene (PP) fiber-reinforced loess in loess slope protection
the anti-erosion performance and slope protection effect of polypropylene fiber-reinforced loess were discussed. A series of laboratory experiments was conducted to study the effects of fiber length and fiber content on the shear strength
disintegration resistance
and permeability coefficient of reinforced loess. Based on the optimum mixture ratio of fiber-reinforced loess obtained by the test
the rainfall scouring model test was carried out. The results showed that the PP fiber could effectively improve the shear strength and disintegration resistance of loess. With the increase of fiber content and fiber length
the cohesion and disintegration rate of fiber-reinforced loess decreased first and then increased. When the fiber length was 15 mm and the fiber content was 0.5%
the shear strength and disintegration resistance of the fiber-reinforced loess were optimized. Compared with plain loess
the cohesion of fiber-reinforced loess increased by 135.3% and the disintegration rate decreased by 91.7%. The permeability coefficient of loess was improved by adding polypropylene fiber. The saturated permeability coefficient of PP fiber-reinforced loess increased with the increase of fiber content
but decreased with the increase of fiber length. The slope protection effect of PP fiber-reinforced loess was obvious. When the slope ratio was 1:1.5
1:1 and 1:0.75
compared with the unprotected slope
the scour rate of protected slope was reduced by 90%
90.4% and 87.3%
respectively
and the cumulative scour amount of protected slope was reduced by 85%
