Research on Factors Influence of Vegetation Slope Protection Based on Grey Incidence Analysis Theory

Abstract

Vegetation Slope Protection Engineering was affected by several factors, and has become the focus of the geotechnical engineering. The stability of the vegetation slope must be controlled rigorous according to the surrounding environment condition and safety level of the slope in highway. According to the Grey Incidence Analysis (GIA) method of grey system theory, a new grey theory model is applied in analyzing of the characteristics of Eco-engineering protected by roots of vegetation, to attain the correlation coefficient affected by extent of the factors. After analysis of several practical Bio-engineering examples, to attain the most influencing factors of the stability of vegetation slope are the density of roots (ρ), the length of roots (L), the diameter of roots (D), the weight of soil (γ), the anti-pulling force of roots (P), internal friction angle (φ), cohesive strength(c) and the shear strength of the soil (τ). The role of factors is classified in order to define the extent of the impact and provide guidance for construction and design of Eco-engineering. After analyzing the data collected from the field and several classicistic documents, utilized Grey Incidence Analysis method to make prediction in order to guarantee the slope safety. It shows that the grey system theory can be effectively and practically adopted in the slope stability analysis of vegetation slope in expressway and that has a good prospect.
