Comparison and Selection of Embankment Protection Slope Types for the Renovation and Expansion Project of Taiyu Escape Canal
The Taiyu Escape Canal was built in the 1970s and is responsible for the drainage of 26700 hectares of farmland in Jinzhong City and Taiyuan City,as well as the Yuci East Escape Canal,Taiyuan Xuedian Drainage Canal,and Beizhang Escape Canal.In recent years,with the vigorous development of the University City Area,Fendong New Area,and Comprehensive Reform Zone,the irrigation area of farmland has been decreasing year by year,while the newly built urban area has been increasing.There is an urgent need for systematic planning and renovation of the Taiyu Escape Canal.Due to the fact that both sides of the channel are mostly farmland and the channel range is limited,the selection of embankment protection slope types is particularly important.Based on the location of the embankment,engineering cost,construction conditions,and operation management,various ecological slope protection types were compared.
