Abstract

See full text

Mattress Gabions are provided for soil stabilization revetments, designed to halt erosion and/or to consolidate the soil. A protective revetment consisting of a structure of vegetable matter forms a mattress gabion which retains the soil inside each of a multiplicity of individual cells. Each cell of the container can be filled with earth or a soil or soil-forming mixture, encouraging the growth of vegetation inside the mattress, in order to afford a natural protection to the soil of banks or excarpments, etc. Once it has been filled, the mattress is closed by a top cover in double twist steel mesh, after laying a geosynthetic sheet between the two to keep in fine materials.
