Experimental Study on the Deformation and Mechanical Properties of Bamboo Forest Slopes

In this paper, model tests on a plain soil slope and bamboo-rooted under top loading were carried out to analyze the surface displacement, change in earth pressure, failure mode of slope. Furthermore, influence rainfall deformation mechanical properties sliding was studied. The results show that: (1) block failure, while progressive backward failure. (2) Under load, displacement shows rule that large foot small. presence bamboo rhizomes had negligible effect but it significantly contributed area’s increase. (3) Compared with slope, pressure area same level load elevated more obviously by which indicates could play specific role reinforcing Still, scope its limited mainly concentrated shallow soil. (4) There significant increase conditions, magnitude upward small process step-by-step loading. test may have important guiding significance for in-depth study instability law disaster prevention forest areas.
