Abstract
The mechanism of plant roots for slope stabilization is an important issue for the landslide prevention and control. The study of deformation and failure behavior of ecologically reinforced slopes under vertical loading is of great significance to a reasonable slope stability evaluation method. In this paper, centrifugal model tests were conducted to study the deformation and failure behavior of ecologically strengthened soil slopes and pure soil slopes under vertical loading conditions. A coupling effect between deformation localization and local failure was found in the slope failure process. The occurrence and development of deformation localization caused the slope failure. Compared with the pure soil slope, ecological soil slopes could bear higher loads and exhibit smaller deformation. Plant roots could increase stability of the soil slope by reducing the degree of deformation localization in the slope, slowing down the formation process of the slip surface and finally delaying the slope failure.
