ADVANCES IN SPRAYED FIBRE SOIL APPLICATION FOR THE SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPING OF CUT SLOPES IN JAPAN AND HONG KONG

Sprayed fibre soil technology has been extensively used in Japan for over ten years and has been recently applied in Hong Kong. Three methods will be presented which can be used for retaining, erosion control and successful landscaping for both slope remediation and major site formation works. A sustainable approach to raw materials supply is described. Construction flow can be modified to include re-cycled materials produced either during the site works or by integrating by-products from exiting industrial processes. The authors will outline a prescriptive approach to design which can be used to assess required thickness using empirical design criteria of soil strength, rainfall and slope angle.
