Description

Vegetation cell {VEGETATION CELL}

The present invention relates to a vegetation structure used to construct a civil engineering structure, and more particularly, to a structure that enables vegetation to survive while maintaining river banks and cut soil slopes.

Conventionally, structures such as concrete retaining walls, gabion retaining walls, block retaining walls, stone shafts, concrete blocks, and gabions have been mainly used for the purpose of slope stability and dimensional stability during maintenance of river banks and cut soil slopes.

However, there is no habitat at all in these structures. Accordingly, there is a problem in that the ecosystem is destroyed in the case of maintenance of a cut soil or river bank using such structures in the related art.

The inventor of the present invention has invented the "environmental restoration method using a seed-attached nonwoven vegetation bag" as a result of devoting research and development to solve this problem. This invention was applied for a patent on April 8, 2005 (application number 10-2005-0029381), and on November 2, 2005, a patent was registered (Registration No. 10-0525641) ('Patent Document 1').

In Patent Document 1, a non-woven vegetation bag is used for maintenance of river banks and cut soil slopes. One side of the nonwoven vegetation bag is composed of a mesh layer and a high-strength PET mesh layer. The mesh layer is any one of a PET nonwoven mesh, a jute fiber mesh, and a coir fiber mesh. A plurality of partitions are formed by attaching double-sided tape at intervals of about 20 cm between the mesh layer and the high-strength PET mesh layer. In each cell, a number of sheep grass seeds and a number of local vegetation seeds are mixed and inserted. The remaining sides of the non-woven vegetation bag are made of polyester long fiber non-woven fabric.

The non-woven vegetation bag of Patent Document 1 is put inside the Gebion wire mesh, which is a reinforcing frame, to form a Gebion structure. Specifically, first, the Gebion wire mesh, which is a reinforcing frame, is continuously bonded and assembled at the construction site, and a non-woven vegetation bag is put into each of the assembled Gebion wire meshes, thereby forming Gebion structures that are continuously arranged.

The Gebion wire mesh can be connected in a state in which the Gebion wire meshes are stacked in a stepwise manner to form the bank of the river bank and the foundation of the cut soil slope. They can also be made horizontally and continuously spread out on the slope floor.

The non-woven vegetation sacks placed inside the Gebion wire mesh are filled with soil and stones at the construction site using a forkrain equipment.

However, in general, soils in construction sites such as rivers are barren soils with a lot of gravel and sand. Seed germination and plant growth are not good under such barren soil. However, in Patent Document 1, both grass seeds and local vegetation seeds are attached to the vegetation bag, and the barren soil of the site is filled inside the vegetation bag. So, in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that the seed germination and plant growth of both grass seeds and local vegetation seeds are not good.

The inventor of the present invention has invented the "vegetation bag with the seeds of green vegetation plants attached" as a result of devoting research and development to solve this problem of Patent Document 1, and this invention was patented on September 11, 2012. It was applied (application number 10-2012-0100414), and as of January 2, 2013, a patent was registered (registration number 10-1219289) ('Patent Document 2').

In Patent Document 2, the cover portion of the vegetation bag is composed of a coir blanket, a net, and a jute transverse net. The jute string net is manufactured in the form of a net by weaving jute thread on the string. Seeds of green manure herbaceous plants are embedded in the seed line.

In general, green manure herbaceous plants can supply nitrogen to the soil by fixing nitrogen in the air. Therefore, in Patent Document 2, there is an effect of improving plant growth by providing nitrogen fertilizers to soil required for plant growth by green manure plants that have survived in vegetation bags.

However, since the vegetation sacks of Patent Document 2 are also filled with the soil and stones at the construction site, there is a problem in that the seed germination and plant growth of the green manure herbaceous plant seeds are limited due to the barrenness of the soil and stones at the construction site.

In addition, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the vegetation bag is put inside the reinforcing frame, the Gebion wire mesh, the Gebion wire mesh is exposed to the outside. There was a problem that residents' complaints were repeated as garbage such as vinyl was caught in the wire mesh of Gebion and spoiled the beauty of the river.
