ABSTRACT
Sprayed planting concrete (SPC) can be used for the ecological restoration of rocky steep slopes. It is a kind of outside-soil material with excellent soil and slope stabilization performance, and plants can grow in SPC, thus achieving harmony between engineering stability and ecological restoration and improving the landscape and ecosystem. The addition of cement is the key to allowing SPC to achieve slope stabilization and prevent soil erosion. However, the addition of cement can cause SPC to have high alkalinity, overheating (cement generates hydration heat), and excessive hardening, which are not conducive to the growth of plants and can lead to poor ecological performance of SPC for slope ecological restoration. We studied the improvement of the ecological performance of SPC by using a polymer composite material composed of a polymer adhesive material and a polymer water-retaining material. This paper studied the improvement effects of the polymer composite material on the ecological performance of SPC used in slope ecological restoration through a laboratory erosion resistance test and a plant growth test. The results showed that SPC with the addition of polymer composite material can reduce its cement content by about 50% while still retaining excellent erosion resistance performance when it is used in slope ecological restoration. Additionally, the plant germination rates and plant heights when using the SPC improved by polymer composite material were increased by 190% and 110%, respectively. These results show that polymer composite material can significantly improve the ecological performance of SPC and effectively improve its slope ecological restoration effects. This study provides theoretical and technical support for the application of SPC in ecological restoration on rocky steep slopes.
