Comparative Analysis of Ecological Revetment and Traditional Revetment

Abstract

Ecological revetment is a new kind of environmental protection technology, which combines civil engineering techniques with environmental engineering techniques. At the same time, it also considers the protection function of traditional revetment and provides unique humanistic and ecological value, which is a new trend and a new direction of revetment research. This paper mainly analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of ecological revetment compared with traditional revetment. First, the related concepts and functions of coastline resources, urban waterfront and waterfront buffer zone are defined. Then, around these two kinds of coastline in-depth study of three sub-projects are discussed in detail, including the traditional slope revetment, traditional wall revetment, traditional dam revetment, and ecological block revetment, grass brick revetment, medium screen revetment. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the two kinds of revetments are analyzed and compared. The results show that the ecological revetment has better ecological value and humanistic value, which is conducive to beautifying the urban waterfront environment, but there is a problem of high investment and maintenance cost.
