摘要
The collapse of collapsing walls is a key process during the Benggang development in southeast China and is closely related to the soil shear strength. Plant root reinforcement can effectively improve the soil shear strength. However, there are few studies on the effect of roots on the soil shear strength of collapsing walls. To explore the influence of roots on the soil shear strength of collapsing walls, the roots of Neyraudia reynaudiana was selected as the research object. This paper studies the tensile properties of the roots through root tensile tests and performs a direct shear test to study the influence of the roots on the soil shear strength by setting different mass moisture contents (15%~30%) and root weight densities (0 ~ 1.25 g 100 cm(-3)). Root tensile force is positively correlated with root diameter by a power function, while tensile strength is negatively correlated with diameter by a power function. Roots could increase the soil shear strength, and which was mainly reflected in cohesive force. The shear strength and cohesive force increase first then decrease with the increasing root density, while root density has no effect on the internal friction. The shear strength, cohesive force and internal friction of root-soil complex all decreased with increasing moisture content. The WWM (Wu and Waldron model) greatly overestimated the cohesion of herbaceous roots, and a new prediction model of the shear strength of root-soil composites was obtained by revising the WWM model by introducing the moisture content and root density (NSE = 0.94). In conclusion, Neyraudia reynaudiana roots could improve the soil shear strength, whereas the strengthening effect decreased under the condition of high moisture content. The results provide a basis for the selection and allocation of vegetation restoration measures in Benggang erosion in southern China.
