Study of possibility application of anti-erosion coating - geomate with ground and sowing of permanent grasses

Abstract

Geosynthetic materials are considered modern, reliable, and durable building materials used in many construction areas. Geosynthetic building materials provide a viable and long-term economic alternative to conventional building materials. During the operation of hydraulic structures, they are affected by water and air erosion; the impact of these processes can lead to negative consequences, as a result of which erosion and destruction of structures are possible. To eliminate such consequences, choosing the right protective anti-erosion material and the slope fastening design is necessary. Common geosynthetic materials are geomats, which have found their application in construction. Like other geosynthetic materials, geomats have a fairly wide range of applications in hydraulic engineering construction. This study aimed to study the options for using a geomat with vegetation, namely the selection and selection of a mixture of herbs and the formation of herbage for further application of anti-erosion coating. Currently, the issue of increasing environmental factors is quite acute. This coating will give the slope a natural look without losing protective properties. Also, thanks to the sowing of perennial grasses, the use of this coating will increase the environmental characteristics of the structure, which will favorably affect flora and fauna.
