Abstract
Planting concrete has been widely used in river revetment engineering for its revetment stability, erosion resistance, landscape suitability and the ecological function. In this paper, the influences of water-cement ratio, cement content, aggregate size and curing period on the mechanical properties, apparent density and porosity of planting concrete were studied. Under the optimal water-cement ratio, the compressive strength, flexural strength and apparent density of planting concrete increase linearly with the increase of cement content, while the porosity decreases linearly. The compressive strength, flexural strength and porosity decrease linearly with the increase of aggregate size, while the apparent density increases linearly. The mechanical properties improve with the increase of curing period.
