With the help of plant roots, slope vegetation makes the slope soil mass become a composite material of soil and roots, and thus enhances shear strength of the slope soil mass and stability of the slope. However, the related studies at present are still qualitative. In this paper, quantitative analysis of the interaction between roots and soil mass are made. By the analysis of the interaction between herbaceous plant roots including lateral roots of woody plants and rock and soil mass, a mechanical model of the interaction between frictional roots and soil is established, and its correctness is shown. A mechanical model of the interaction between anchorage root, namely, woody plant taproot, and soil is also established. The establishment of the models provides a useful means in quantitative analysis of the interaction between plant roots and soil, and has practical values.
The measurement system is the main equipment of the project.Based on the characteristic of experiment system,a sensor array is designed,and used to continually acquire the global magnetic field.A scientific scheme is developed to get the signal processing and temperature compensation for nondirective weak magnetic field.The software of sampling control system is given,which is complied using C language in Labwindows/CVI.Taking computer as main engine,the system can acquire the nondirective weak magnetic field automatically and continuously use the sensor array,the change of magnetic field can be shown in real-time and intuitively.
