The retaining wall and slope protection built with mesh boxes have loose filling materials and more pores, which are conducive to the displacement of pore water in the backfill and the soil layer under the slope protection. Once the surface water infiltrates into the soil, it can be quickly displaced by the masonry, effectively reducing the public water level, thereby reducing the public water pressure behind the wall and under the slope. In the landslide and debris flow prevention and control projects, the green grid structure reduces the probability of wall damage by timely water dissipation. At the same time, the good deformation ability of the wall can effectively mitigate the external force impact. Gabion mesh is widely used and can withstand proportional pressure. It can be arranged and changed according to the surface installation. At the same time, they must have sufficient ability to bear the weight of the stone and the weight of other gabions placed on them. They can also withstand rain erosion and maintain the integrity of the structure.
2. Gabion mesh embankment slope protection
Gabion mesh has long-term corrosion resistance and can be used in geological structures such as mountains, river banks, wetland boundaries and coastlines. It can provide long-term slope protection and provide a stable living environment for the healthy growth of animals. The mesh mat has long-term corrosion resistance and can be used in emergency situations. It is a reinforced device. Our mesh mat has sufficient toughness and gaps to strengthen the root system of plants and is beneficial to the growth of plants. Gabion mesh is usually used in riverbeds and sediment deposits. It is wear-resistant and can withstand the erosion of running water, creating a stable environment for the healthy growth of plants. Animals have been loaded in the mesh, and the final material is decomposed gradually to become the cohesive strength of the root system. The flexibility of the device is the basic factor of riverbed and slope protection. The slope protection design of gabion mesh and Reno mat can effectively restrain soil corrosion and river washing, provide favorable conditions for the growth of surface animals, and reduce the pressure of side slope. When deciding on the appropriate slope protection design, the planner must consider the existing soil conditions, slope, additional force, impact of running water, size of cutting pieces and many other factors.
3. Gabion mesh bridge net
Gabion mesh can be used on bridges or bridge sides to stabilize the bridge foundation or the surrounding soil. The gabion mesh protection body is a mesh group composed of multiple mesh boxes. The mesh wire has strong tensile strength. The mesh box and the filler form a strong protective structure. The use of the barrier interval reduces the movement between the stones and effectively enhances the stability of the structure. With the increase of time, the effectiveness of the gabion mesh will become more obvious.
4. Gabion mesh highway, railway and mountain protection
The flat ground protection net has the characteristics of not easy to break and rot. It is used in the rockfall protection project of highways and railways. It is an ideal material choice for managing the mountain rockfall currently faced. In the past, the dangerous cliffs hanging above the road surface were not protected. Now, with the widening of the road surface and the construction of new roads, this problem is once again before us. We must come up with an effective way to solve this problem. The safe and effective performance of gabion mountain protection net can solve this problem and has been widely used in the United States. The weak structure and indestructible characteristics of the gabion mountain protection net determine its unique advantages in mountain protection. The broken stones are firmly fixed on the slope by the highly ductile mesh. In addition, the double-twisted hexagonal mesh can also prevent the landslide caused by the sudden load of the mountain rock, and also has the ability to reduce the mechanical damage caused by the fracture of the stone layer and the fall of the stone. The unique high elasticity, indistinguishability and long-term corrosion resistance of the double-twisted hexagonal metal make its adoption rate far higher than other protection products.
5. Large-scale water conservancy projects
Gabion mesh is permeable. The gaps between the stones in the mesh provide sufficient water flow area, reduce the static pressure of the fluid, and do not require additional drainage devices and cracked concrete devices. It can be used as a protective project in places with strong winds and waves. The pores between the stones can greatly reduce the impact of wind and waves when they hit the mesh mat, and the vacuum suction generated when the wind and waves recede is also destroyed, which can effectively achieve the effect of protection. The pores in the green grid box and the mesh mat are the self-purification ability of the water body, which protects and improves the water source and water quality. The pores of the filler are laid in the soil layer or the naturally deposited soil, which creates technical advantages for greening and filling. Even if no seeds are sown, plants will grow naturally, achieving optimization, beautification, improvement and restoration of the ecological environment. In water conservancy projects, the use of gabion mesh is very economical. The gabion mesh system is composed of wire cages and fillers, which has lower cost than ordinary construction materials. Our mesh is compressed into a box body and can be directly filled with stones after expansion. The fillers only need to be resistant to weathering and have a certain strength. Usually, stones of different grades at the project site can be used as fillers. Sometimes even some cleaner construction waste can be used as fillers. Therefore, the cost is low, especially when the foundation conditions are poor, which can save the foundation treatment costs that account for a large proportion of the project cost.
