Abstract:

The mining of open-pit mines destroys a large amount of land resources and causes a series of ecological and environmental problems such as vegetation damage and landslides.Vegetation restoration is the preferred method to solve the ecological environment and natural disasters of open-pit mine dump slopes.Aiming at the tensile properties of the interface between herbaceous plant roots and soil,alfalfa was taken as the research object,and the reinforcement effect of herbaceous plant roots on the shallow soil was used to improve the stability of open-pit mine dump slope. The effects of root diameter(0~2 mm),soil compaction(65%~95%) and root depth (8~15 cm) on the pull-out resistance of root-soil interface were analyzed by carrying out indoor single-root tensile and pull-out tests,and the mechanical properties and failure mechanism of alfalfa roots under pull-out were explored.The results show that:(1) The tensile and pull-out force of alfalfa increase with the increase of root diameter,while the tensile and pull-out strength decrease with the increase of root diameter.There is an obvious non-linear relationship between pull-out strength and root diameter,and the correlation coefficient is more than 0.9.The pull-out failure occurr when the pull-out failure reach the critical value of 0.73 mm.(2)With the increase of the degree of compaction,the pull-out resistance of alfalfa shows a trend of first increasing and then smoothly,indicating that after the peak of pull-out resistance,the friction force at the root-soil interface is greater than the tensile force of the root system,and the root system is broken.The greater the degree of compaction,the higher the probability of tensile failure.(3)The influence of buried depth on the pull-out resistance of alfalfa roots is related to the degree of compaction and root diameter.The greater the degree of compaction,the smaller the influence of buried depth on the pull-out resistance,and the greater the root diameter,the greater the influence of buried depth on the pull-out resistance.In Summary,root diameter,soil compaction and root burial depth are the main factors affecting the pull-out resistance of the root-soil interface.By studying the influence of root diameter,soil compaction and root buried depth on the pull-out resistance of root-soil interface can improve the stability of open-pit dump mine slope.
