Zusammenfassung:To accelerate the re-vegetation of exposed landslide areas, hydroseeding for soil and water conservation has been widely applied as one of the economically feasible ways. However, effect durations of different hydroseeding materials are different, the formulation density has a certain effect on plant growth and the addictives may exude. This paper presents laboratory experiments of soil erosion, exuding water quality and soil hardness by using a rainfall simulator with different conditions of slope, rainfall intensity and medication density. The results showed that soil erosion decreased significantly, suggesting a good erosion-resisting effect by the ventilation and watertight resin. No significant variation of the exuded water was observed during testing, which indicates that after gelling, the ventilation and watertight resin are unlikely to release chemical substances. It was found that high resin density will result in poor workability as well as high costs; adverse will cause the mudstone to fracture due to raindrops since cracks are common to soil surface. The weatherability after spraying and its effect on plant vegetation still need further investigation.
