Ecological block and vegetation bank protection

Abstract

The present invention provides an ecological block and a method for constructing an ecological vegetation bank protection wall and an ecological vegetation retaining wall using such an ecological block. In the ecological block according to the present invention, a truncated conical projection and a corresponding groove is provided at the upper and lower parts of the block body of said ecological block respectively, a channel-shaped space (groove) in which water grasses are planted is provided at either side of the block body of said ecological block, and traveling passages for amphibious animals and insects and grooves for absorbing noise are provided at the front part of the block body of the ecological block. With the present invention as mentioned above, it is possible to preserve the ecological environment since excellent spawning and inhabitable spaces for amphibious animals and insects are provided.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates generally to an ecological block and a method for constructing an ecological vegetation bank protection wall and an ecological vegetation retaining wall using such an ecological block, and more particularly to an ecological block which contributes to the restoration and preservation of the ecosystem by provision of block structures with spawning and inhabitable spaces for amphibious animals and insects and with traveling passages for amphibious animals and insects and a method for constructing an ecological vegetation bank protection wall and an ecological vegetation retaining wall using such an ecological block. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Generally, a bank protection wall of a river is constructed by a concrete retaining wall, a reinforcing stone wall, or by paving a mortar block. Such a bank protection wall destructs inhabitation environment of animals and plants around the river and affects an ecosystem in that a surface soil layer ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009] The foregoing object is also accomplished in a third preferred embodiment by providing an ecological block for constructing a retaining wall especially on the cut-area or the cut-slope of a road, wherein at least one truncated conical projection adapted for convenient piling up a block structure on another block structure is provided at the upper part of the block body of said ecological block; at least one groove in which said truncated conical projection is engaged is provided at the lower part of the block body of said ecological block; a channel-shaped space in which stones are filled and trees and grasses are planted during the construction of the retaining wall is provided at either side of the block body of said ecological block; and a channel-shaped space adapted for reducing the noise due to the travel of a vehicle during the construction of the retaining wall is provided at the front part of the block body of said ecological block, said channel-shaped groove provided at the front part of the block body of said ecological block being communicated with said channel-shaped space provided at either side of the block body of said ecological block.

[0010] The foregoing object is also accomplished in a fourth preferred embodiment by providing an ecological block for constructing a retaining wall especially on the cut-area or the cut-slope of a road, wherein at least one truncated conical projection adapted for convenient piling up a block structure on another block structure is provided at the upper part of the block body of said ecological block; at least one groove in which said truncated conical projection is engaged is provided at the lower part of the block body of said ecological block; a channel-shaped space in which stones are filled and trees and grasses are planted during the construction of the retaining wall is provided at either side of the block body of said ecological block; and V channel-shaped grooves adapted for reducing the noise due to the travel of a vehicle during the construction of the retaining wall are provided at the front part of the block body of said ecological block approximately in the form of a diamond.

Problems solved by technology

Such a bank protection wall destructs inhabitation environment of animals and plants around the river and affects an ecosystem in that a surface soil layer is covered with concrete so that the vegetation of herbaceous plants may be difficult, although it has excellent capability of preventing corrosion, erosion and loss of a bank.
