Abstract

Earth-fill shore-protection technology is organic bonded by making artificial island and bank slope protection. While, during the building progress of the bank-protection works, three problems are inevitable: the water level fluctuation deteriorate the stability of the bank slope; the effective combination between original bank slope and the fill; intensive fluctuation of the bank slope caused by the reservoir water level’s cyclic soak. Adopted critical technologies such as spray drain, synchro drainage technology, excavating inverse steps at the surface between the fill and original bank slope, etc solve the key problems. These critical technologies are applied on the Ningjiang island project. The results show that the stability of the bank slope in Ningjiang island enhanced, the urban land augmented.
