Disclosed is a three-parameter strength reduction method for slope stability evaluation. The present disclosure reflects the difference in the attenuation and contribution of the cohesion, internal friction angle and tensile strength in the process of slope instability by reducing the three parameters by different reduction factors. Based on the sudden change of the characteristic point displacement of the slope as a criterion of slope instability, the present disclosure derives the fitting relationship between the characteristic point displacement and the cohesion reduction factor. The present disclosure assumes that the comprehensive safety factor satisfies a linear relationship with the cohesion reduction factor, the internal friction angle reduction factor and the tensile strength reduction factor and derives the relationship between the comprehensive safety factor and the cohesion reduction factor. Finally, the present disclosure summarizes and proposes a three-parameter strength reduction method and provides the steps for analyzing the slope stability through this method.

An articulated concrete block system that includes a gabion mattress drainage layer. The two major components of the system reduce the effects of erosion and increase the hydraulic stability in areas that experience high velocity water flows, hydraulic jumps, and will dissipate wave energy action for shoreline and coastal erosion. Geosynthetics are first placed on the ground surface, followed by a gabion mattress drainage layer, a smaller aggregate layer for fine grading, another optional geosynthetic layer, and then the articulated concrete blocks overlie the system.

Stabilized structures and fills are disclosed relating to erosion control that include multiple interlock units and fibers that interact with those interlock units. Combinations of interlock units, fibers, and other optional fill materials may be used to stabilize a vulnerable earthen slope. Various fiber tensions act on the interlock units tending to hold the interlock units together and tending to hold the interlock units in position on the slope.

A construction method of fast-setting polymer grouting for rapid control of slope erosion and landslide. This solution includes a landslide control method and a slope erosion control method: sorting out an operation platform; drilling and grouting of polymer high-pressure jet grouting piles on the diseased slope; drilling a row of grouting water interception holes densely on the rear edge of the diseased slope; drilling, on the operation platform, a plurality of anchor holes on the diseased slope; inserting a ground anchor into each anchor hole and performing polymer grouting to form a polymer anchorage body; laying a steel wire gauze on the surface of the diseased slope, and connecting and fixing the steel wire gauze with the tail end of each ground anchor; spraying a two-component expandable polymer grouting material onto the steel wire gauze to form a polymer anti-scour layer; drilling a plurality of planting holes on the diseased slope with a backpack drill through meshes of the steel wire gauze; and filling each planting hole with grass seed mixed nutrient soil. The present invention has the advantages of short construction period, ecological and environmental protection, convenient construction, high strength and strong scour resistance.

A cellular structure includes a plurality of interconnected cells of fabric material. The cells are at least partially filled with a composite fill material that includes a particulate material and a bonding agent. A cellular unit made up of a plurality of the interconnected cells may have an associated load-bearing frame to enable lifting and/or transportation of the structure. The fill material is preferably resilient.

According to the present disclosure, methods and techniques for generating preferred concrete block products are provided. The methods and techniques involve providing addition of color to selected section within the blocks (1), as described herein, to generate enhancement effects. Typical applications involve spray applications for color pigment to visually distinct sections of the block (1) on one or more decorative surfaces.

A connection device for fastening two expanded cellular confinement structures includes: an insertion member; an integral shank extending perpendicular from the insertion member; and an integral handle member extending perpendicular from the shank at an end of the shank remote from the insertion member. One or more barbs may project from the insertion member. The device can have a washer section between the handle member and insertion member. The handle can be curved, or it can be in the shape of a polygon.
