Slope face reinforcing device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: A slope face reinforcing device which enables prevention of the washout of earth and sand from a slope face, breeding of a lawn uniformly over the whole of the slope face, and effective reuse of used tires which are industrial refuse, wherein the required material can be formed by simple retreatment of the used tires. CONSTITUTION: Used tires 1 are cut up along cut lines a-c to form annular bodies 2 comprising a small-diametered upper opening 3, large-diametered lower opening 5, and embedded bead 6. The bodies 2 are placed on a slope face 4 with the openings 3 up and connected with one another by stringlike members 11, and some of the bodies 2 are fixed to the slope face 4 by piles 7. Even when rainfalls have occurred before the plants have taken root, earth and sand 8 is prevented from washout by the slant inner faces 2a of the bodies 2. On the other hand, the outer faces 9 of the bodies 2 constitute ain water passages 10 in a lattice form over the whole of the slope face 4, to smoothly drain the rain water and prevent the washout of the earth and sand.
