ABSTRACT
Slope protection is not only a significant unit in keeping river embankments safety but also an important aspect of dyke reinforcement project. Traditional slope protection patterns include block stone, castin-place concrete, pouring mold bag concrete pavement, asphalt concrete and so on. Different slope protection forms together play a very important role in withstanding killer waves, protecting slope from being washed out by rains, preventing frost heave and dryness of dyke clayey soil, avoiding clay be blown about by wind. However, according to the long-term practice, it is found that traditional slope protection exist some drawbacks in engineering application. For instance, to artificially and canalized natural river by using impervious artificial hard material will impede ecological function and affect the structure integrity of biological system. With economic and social development and improving people awareness, river ecology, landscape and water function have gradually been taken seriously. For modern slope protection project, riverbank should not only own the basic protective function but also the ecological functions harmonize with the surrounding environment. Therefore, in order to adapt to the need of new situation, the slope protection technology of river regulation should gradually develop from originally pure physical measures to ecological slope protection technology.
