Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy engineering, and in particular to an ecological revetment structure suitable for waterfront walkways. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional riverbank revetments are mostly made of masonry or reinforced concrete, which are relatively expensive and have poor ecological and aesthetic effects. To address these shortcomings, the industry has adopted ecological revetments primarily using pine piles. Pine piles are inserted into the riverbank soil, relying on their own friction and supporting force to enhance the stability of the revetment. Because pine piles have a certain degree of permeability, they can provide initial purification of rainwater, creating a favorable habitat for riparian plants.

[0003] However, in areas with fluctuating water levels, the tops of the pine piles are repeatedly exposed to the air, making them prone to rotting. Currently, carbonization or soaking in preservatives is often used for corrosion prevention, but this is costly and can easily cause secondary environmental pollution. At the same time, the soil on the sloping bank can slip, exerting a pushing force on the piles, ultimately leading to the collapse of the revetment. To solve the above problems, an ecological revetment structure suitable for waterfront walkways is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing wooden piles being prone to rotting and existing revetments being prone to collapse.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An ecological revetment structure suitable for waterfront walkways includes wooden piles arranged in two rows, with each row having densely packed piles and adjacent piles having serrated upper ends. Gabions are installed on the piles, and the bottom of each gabion has two grooves into which the two rows of piles are inserted. Connecting plates are installed on both sides of the gabion, and a footboard is installed on the gabion. A guardrail is installed on the outside of the footboard, and a retaining groove is installed on the other side of the footboard. An anchor rod is installed in the retaining groove, and a slope is installed on the outside of the retaining groove. A vegetation net is installed on the slope.

[0007] Furthermore, one row of wooden stakes is located on the riverbank, and the other row is located on the inner side of the riverbank. The higher stakes of the toothed wooden stakes on the riverbank are connected to the bottom of the guardrail via connecting fasteners. The guardrail is located on the outer side of the wooden stakes, and the middle part of the guardrail is connected to the outer side of the tread. The connecting plates on both sides of the gabion are fixedly connected to the tread. The connecting plates and the tread form a semi-enclosed space, and the gabion is located within the semi-enclosed space to reduce the deformation of the gabion.

[0008] Furthermore, the side of the gabion away from the riverbank is an inclined slope, and the triangular area on the side of the slope and the gabion is a retaining groove. The connecting plate on the gabion away from the riverbank is located in the retaining groove. Anchor rods are installed on the connecting plate by bolts. The anchor rods are inserted into the soil at an angle perpendicular to the slope. There are gravel at the bottom of the retaining groove, and the middle and upper part of the retaining groove is soil planted with flowers and grass to prevent the soil in the retaining groove from slipping and reduce the impact on the gabion.

[0009] Furthermore, the gabion is a metal hollow structure filled with stones. The gabion is supported on wooden stakes by grooves at the bottom, and the bottom of the gabion is located on the land of the riverbank.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the wooden stakes and the bottom of the gabion are below the normal water level, while the treads are above the high water level and always protrude from the water surface, with multiple treads forming a waterfront walkway.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] The gabion's structure, with its top and bottom constantly submerged in water, prevents rotting through repeated wetting and drying, eliminating the need for preservatives and preventing environmental pollution. The toothed arrangement of the two rows of wooden piles enhances the interlocking force, and the gabion is fixed to the piles via grooves, reducing the risk of slippage. The connecting plates on both sides of the gabion and the footboard form a semi-enclosed structure, further limiting gabion deformation and improving overall stability. Anchor bolts are vertically inserted into the slope soil, effectively preventing soil slippage and bank collapse. The gabion's permeable structure enhances permeability, preventing structural damage caused by prolonged soaking. The permeability of the gabion facilitates the initial purification of rainwater, providing a good habitat for riparian plants. Planting flowers and grasses on the slope and retaining troughs enhances soil and water conservation capabilities and improves the landscape effect. The footboard forms a stable waterfront walkway, making it convenient for pedestrians to get close to the water. Attached Figure Description
