The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, as shown in the attached drawings. Figures 1-3 As shown, a highway slope protection structure includes a composite base layer 1, a slope 2, and a drainage ditch 3. The base layer 1 includes, from bottom to top, a reinforced soil layer 11, a crushed stone layer 12, a concrete layer 13, and a cement layer 14. The reinforced soil layer 11 is made of lime-soil and compacted in layers by a 20t vibratory roller, with a compaction degree ≥95%. The crushed stone layer 12 is made of graded crushed stone with a thickness of 150mm and a porosity ≤28%. The concrete layer 13 is made of C25 concrete with an internal two-way steel mesh. The cement layer 14 is made of a 3% polyurethane waterproof membrane. All structural layers are laid horizontally, and an interface agent is set between the layers to enhance the bonding strength, forming a continuous waterproof membrane layer to prevent water infiltration, enhance the stability and durability of the base layer 1 and the slope 2, reduce the risk of settlement, and reduce soil erosion in the surrounding area.
[0023] The base layer 1 is above the slope 2, which is constructed by layered backfilling and compaction to enhance its stability. A concrete grid 21 protection system is installed on the surface: it adopts a diamond grid arrangement with a unit size of 1000x1000mm, a rib width of 150mm, and a rib height of 120mm. The bottom of the grid groove 211 is provided with permeable holes with a diameter of 50mm, and the holes are arranged in an array with a spacing of 300mm. It is connected to the water collection pipe 4 through a PVC drainage pipe 5. The green layer 6 is laid in the grid groove 211. The green layer 6 includes, from bottom to top, a geogrid filter plate with a pore size of 0.15mm 61, a 300mm planting soil layer 62, a 50mm thick slow-release fertilizer layer 63, and a 50mm topsoil layer, which creates a growth environment for green vegetation and reduces soil erosion. Grass seeds are placed in the topsoil layer and sown by hydroseeding to increase vegetation density and reduce the risk of replanting due to low survival rate of transplanted turf.
[0024] Drainage trough 3 is set on the bottom side of slope 2. Several horizontal cylindrical holes are drilled near the bottom of the slope sidewall of drainage trough 3. Water collection pipe 4 is placed in the cylindrical holes. Vertical holes are drilled in slope 2 along the permeable holes of the grid groove, and drain pipe 5 is installed so that drain pipe 5 is vertically connected to water collection pipe 4. Rainwater infiltrates through grid groove 211, the permeable holes intercept the rainwater, and it enters water collection pipe 4 along drain pipe 5, flows into drainage trough 3 for storage and transportation, and is discharged into river dam for storage. This reduces rainwater evaporation and can be used for agricultural irrigation, etc., improving the utilization rate of water resources and reducing the loss of soil and greening due to the accelerated flow rate after rainwater collection.
[0025] Specifically, the top of the drainage ditch 3 is equipped with a cover plate 31. The cover plate 31 is a modular prefabricated plate with an array of elongated holes, inside which are installed galvanized steel filter grilles. This provides support, facilitates movement for maintenance personnel, and allows for easy opening of the cover plate 31 for cleaning the drainage ditch 3. It also reduces water evaporation from the drainage ditch 3, improving water resource utilization. Simultaneously, the galvanized steel filter grilles ensure rainwater flows into the drainage ditch 3 while preventing debris such as leaves from clogging the waterways, thus ensuring the drainage ditch 3 remains unobstructed.
[0026] Specifically, the drain pipe 5 is equipped with a spirally arranged capillary drainage strip 7. Utilizing capillary action, when soil moisture exceeds a certain limit, the capillary automatically absorbs excess water and discharges it into the collection pipe 4. When soil moisture is insufficient, the capillary releases stored water. The upper part of the capillary drainage strip 7 extends into the soil layer 62, and the lower part extends into the bottom of the collection pipe 4. During periods of abundant rainfall, the capillary drainage strip 7 can promptly drain excess water from the soil layer 62, ensuring the vegetation is in a suitable soil condition. In a dry environment, water from a nearby river is pumped into a drainage trough 3 and then flows into a collection pipe 4. The water in the drainage trough 3 submerges the collection pipe 4, causing the bottom of the capillary drainage belt 7 to be submerged in water. The capillary drainage belt 7 utilizes the surface tension of water molecules to achieve reverse water transport, drawing water from the collection pipe 4 to the soil layer 62, maintaining the soil moisture content of the soil layer 62, providing water replenishment for vegetation, and improving the survival rate of vegetation. The spiral arrangement can increase the water absorption and storage capacity, improve the water absorption and drainage efficiency, and reduce the maintenance cost of green vegetation.
[0027] In summary, this highway slope protection structure improves overall stability by laying a base layer 1 and a slope 2. Drilling holes in the slope 2 to install water collection pipes 4 and drainage pipes 5 allows for timely drainage through the drainage pipes 5 and collection pipes 4 into a drainage ditch 3 during periods of abundant rainfall. This prevents water from entering the slope 2 and causing landslides, and also prevents rainwater erosion from damaging vegetation, thus extending the slope's lifespan. Furthermore, during droughts, external water sources can be introduced into the drainage ditch 3, and the water enters the collection pipes 4, where it is then channeled to the soil layer 62 via capillary drainage belts 7 to replenish the vegetation, improving water resource utilization and reducing vegetation maintenance costs.
[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. The scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description; therefore, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
