On the surface stabilization of loess slopes
Abstract
On the surface stabilization of loess slopes
Incoming article date: 03.06.2025The article examines methods of surface stabilization of loess slopes subject to erosion and landslides. The authors consider the use of soil concrete based on slag-alkaline binder using local loess as a filler. Experiments were conducted with various binder compositions, including liquid glass with different modules and sodium hydroxide, which made it possible to determine the optimal parameters for achieving high strength and frost resistance. For decorative purposes, the use of natural pigments, such as siderites, providing color stability, is proposed. The practical part of the work includes a description of the technology of pneumatic spraying of soil concrete to create monolithic lattice structures.
