[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0027] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The present application provides a construction method of a turbulence ecological revetment, comprising the following process steps: S1 site selection and layout design According to the river regime, the distribution characteristics of incoming water and sand, and the regional riverbed geological conditions, the bank slope inclined and toppling area of the river channel in the protection area is selected. This step is the key to ensure that the revetment engineering has strong pertinence and significant effect. Through in-depth analysis of the hydrogeological characteristics of the river, the area of the river bank slope 1 to be protected is accurately positioned, laying a foundation for subsequent construction.
[0028] The directional position of the partition turbulence structure 2 of each protection area is determined, and the turbulence structure 2 is arranged along the water flow direction on the river. Usually, at least two rows of turbulence structures 2 are arranged in the water flow concentration area of the near-shore beach area and the deep trough area, and the number of turbulence structures 2 in the near-shore beach area is more than that in the deep trough area. This partition layout design can reasonably arrange the number and position of the turbulence structure 2 according to the water flow characteristics and the importance of the region, and enhance the overall protection effect of the revetment.
[0029] S2 design turbulence structure 2 Geological exploration is carried out on the revetment area, and the foundation treatment scheme is determined according to the geological conditions, such as replacement and compaction, to improve the foundation bearing capacity.
[0030] This step ensures that the turbulence structure 2 can be stably installed on the foundation, providing protection for subsequent construction and long-term use.
[0031] According to the hydrology, geology, and danger of the selected protection area, the size and layout of the turbulence structure 2 are designed.
[0032] This step is the key to achieving the flow disturbance effect. Through precise calculation and design, the flow disturbance structure 2 can effectively slow down the water flow speed, change the water flow direction, and reduce the scouring force on the revetment.
[0033] A layer of geotextile is laid on the foundation surface to filter, drain and reinforce the foundation, preventing soil particles from being lost while providing a stable foundation for subsequent construction. The use of geotextile improves the stability of the foundation and enhances the overall performance of the revetment.
[0034] A combined flow-disrupting unit 3 is provided on the water-facing surface 21 of the flow-disrupting structure 2 . The combined flow-disrupting unit 3 includes prefabricated concrete blocks, eco-bags and gabions.
[0035] Each combined flow-disrupting unit 3 is assembled into a cylindrical triangular prism by plugging and assembling, which has strong adaptability to deformation and strong resistance to overturning. This structural design makes the combined flow-disrupting unit 3 have good stability and adaptability, and can play an effective role under different hydrogeological conditions.
[0036] S3 Basic Processing Clear weeds, debris, and loose surface soil from the revetment area to ensure a flat and solid foundation. This step is essential preparatory work before construction and provides a good foundation for the subsequent installation of the spoiler structure 2 and ecological restoration work.
[0037] S4 spoiler structure 2 construction The shape, size and arrangement of the flow-disrupting structure 2 are designed according to the hydrological conditions and ecological requirements of the revetment area.
[0038] The combined spoiler units 3 of the spoiler structure 2 can be made of materials such as precast concrete blocks, eco-bags, and gabions. Their shapes can be triangular, trapezoidal, or polygonal, adapting to varying flow conditions and ecological needs. The diverse designs of the spoiler structure 2 can meet the protection requirements of different scenarios, improving the applicability of the revetment project. The spoiler structure 2 is positioned within the revetment area according to the design requirements and installed manually or mechanically.
[0039] A certain distance should be maintained between the flow-disrupting structures 2 to form an effective flow-disrupting effect and provide growth space for aquatic plants. Reasonable spacing setting not only ensures the flow-disrupting effect, but also takes into account the needs of ecological restoration.
[0040] The spoiler structure 2 can be secured by anchoring or embedding into the bedrock to ensure its stability. For precast concrete blocks, anchor holes can be provided at the bottom, allowing them to be connected to the foundation via anchor rods. For eco-bags, they can be filled with soil and plant seeds, securing them through the weight of the bags and the friction between them. This variety of fixing options enhances the stability of the spoiler structure 2 and ensures its long-term effectiveness.
[0041] S5 Ecological Restoration Construction In the ecological vegetation zone 4 between two adjacent disturbance structures 2, or on other exposed soil within the revetment area, appropriate aquatic and terrestrial plants, such as reeds, cattails, and bermudagrass, should be sown or planted. Plant selection should consider their stress tolerance, growth rate, and ecological value to quickly establish a stable vegetation cover. This step is crucial for achieving ecological restoration. Through plant growth and reproduction, the aquatic ecosystem can be restored and improved, enhancing biodiversity.
[0042] Carry out plant maintenance and management, including irrigation, fertilization, and pruning, to promote their growth and development. Initially, drip irrigation or sprinkler irrigation can be used to ensure water supply to the plants. Regular application of organic or compound fertilizers provides the nutrients the plants need. Prune plants promptly to maintain their optimal growth form and ecological function. Scientific maintenance and management can improve plant survival rates and growth quality, ensuring the stability and sustainability of ecological restoration efforts.
[0043] Artificial fish nests, bird nests, and other ecological facilities are installed within the revetment area to provide habitats and breeding grounds for aquatic animals and birds, increase biodiversity, and promote the balance and stability of the ecosystem. The installation of ecological facilities further enriches the ecological function of the revetment and enhances its ecological value.
[0044] S6 Quality Inspection and Maintenance Completed ecological revetments are inspected for quality, including the stability of the revetment structure, plant survival rates, and the presence of ecological facilities. Any non-compliant components are promptly repaired and adjusted. This step is crucial for ensuring construction quality. Through a comprehensive inspection of construction results, problems can be identified and resolved promptly, ensuring the quality and effectiveness of the revetment.
[0045] Establish a long-term maintenance mechanism to regularly inspect and maintain the ecological revetment. Damaged revetment structures should be promptly replaced or repaired; plants should be regularly pruned, fertilized, and pest-controlled; and ecological facilities should be cleaned and maintained to ensure their proper functioning. This long-term maintenance mechanism will ensure the durability and stability of the revetment and extend its service life.
