CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 201811044782.3, entitled “Three-dimensional Drainage Device Suitable for Loose Filling Slope and Methods for Constructing Three-dimensional Drainage Device”, filed on Sep. 7, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to the field of slope drainage, and particularly to a three-dimensional drainage device suitable for a loose filling slope and methods for constructing three-dimensional drainage device.

2. Description of Related Art

Landslide is a kind of serious geohazards worldwide. With the increasing frequency of engineering activities, the landslide disaster is becoming more and more frequent, causing more and more losses. The loss caused by the instability of the artificial filling slope is very serious in landslide disaster. An important factor causing the landslide disaster is water. The landslide disasters caused by water occur every year. A large number of facts also prove that the effective drainage facilities of slopes are a very important and effective means for slope treatment engineering, especially for the loose filling slope with loose soil, complicated composition and the larger soil pores. Effective drainage can greatly enhance the stability of the slope and reduce its potential threats.

The shallow drainage is the most widely applied way in the current slope drainage, which can reduce the infiltration of the surface water to some extent, but it can't discharge the internal water seeping into the slope soil in a timely and effective manner. The hysteresis effect caused by the water such as rainfall on the slope cannot be well solved, and the drain hole is easy to collapse and clog, which reduces the drainage effect to a great extent. The deep drainage can discharge the water inside the slope to some extent, but it costs much and is difficult to be widely used.

In view of the above problems, the drainage design of the same slope generally adopts a method of combining multiple drainage designs. However, the combination of multiple drainage methods is not a simple superposition-method construction, which may lead to the increase of the construction cost, unreasonable allocation of resources and other problems. Therefore, it is of importance to design a systematic, economical and effective slope drainage scheme, which is rarely mentioned.

These alterations, improvements, and modifications are intended to be suggested by this disclosure, and are within the spirit and scope of the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

Moreover, certain terminology has been used to describe embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the terms “one embodiment”, “an embodiment” and/or “some embodiments” mean that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Therefore, it is emphasized and should be appreciated that two or more references to “an embodiment” or “one embodiment” or “an alternative embodiment” in various portions of this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures or characteristics may be combined as suitable in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

Further, it will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, aspects of the present disclosure may be illustrated and described herein in any of a number of patentable classes or context including any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof. Accordingly, aspects of the present disclosure may be implemented entirely hardware, entirely software (including firmware, resident software, micro-code, etc.) or combining software and hardware implementation that may all generally be referred to herein as a “unit”, “module” or “system”. Furthermore, aspects of the present disclosure may take the form of a computer program product embodied in one or more computer readable media having computer readable program code embodied thereon.

A computer readable signal medium may include a propagated data signal with computer readable program code embodied therein, for example, in baseband or as part of a carrier wave. Such a propagated signal may take any of a variety of forms, including electro-magnetic, optical, or the like, or any suitable combination thereof. A computer readable signal medium may be any computer readable medium that is not a computer readable storage medium and that may communicate, propagate, or transport a program for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device.

NET, Python or the like, conventional procedural programming languages, such as the “C” programming language, Visual Basic, Fortran 2003, Perl, COBOL 2002, PHP, ABAP, dynamic programming languages such as Python, Ruby and Groovy, or other programming languages. The program code may execute entirely on the user's computer, partly on the user's computer, as a stand-alone software package, partly on the user's computer and partly on a remote computer or entirely on the remote computer or server. In the latter scenario, the remote computer may be connected to the user's computer through any type of network, including a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), or the connection may be made to an external computer (for example, through the Internet using an Internet Service Provider) or in a cloud computing environment or offered as a service such as a Software as a Service (SaaS).

Furthermore, the recited order of processing elements or sequences, or the use of numbers, letters, or other designations therefore, is not intended to limit the claimed processes and methods to any order except as may be specified in the claims. Although the above disclosure discusses through various examples what is currently considered to be a variety of useful embodiments of the disclosure, it is to be understood that such detail is solely for that purpose, and that the appended claims are not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, are intended to cover modifications and equivalent arrangements that are within the spirit and scope of the disclosed embodiments. For example, although the implementation of various components described above may be embodied in a hardware device, it may also be implemented as a software only solution, e.g., an installation on an existing server or mobile device.

Similarly, it should be appreciated that in the foregoing description of embodiments of the present disclosure, various features are sometimes grouped together in a single embodiment, figure, or description thereof for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure aiding in the understanding of one or more of the various embodiments. This method of disclosure, however, is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed subject matter requires more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, claimed subject matter may lie in less than all features of a single foregoing disclosed embodiment.
