In civil engineering and landscape design, gabion nettings are widely used structural materials. Due to their unique functionality and flexibility, they have become the preferred solution for many engineering projects. The basic structure of a gabion netting involves a mesh framework filled with stones or other filler materials, forming a sturdy protective wall or reinforcement structure.
Depending on the specific application requirements, the types and designs of gabion nettings also vary. This article will provide a detailed introduction to several common types of gabion nettings and their characteristics.
The gabion box is assembled from gabion mesh, appearing in a rectangular shape. The raw material is hot-dip galvanized low-carbon steel wire, manufactured by weaving. It has good stability and tensile strength, and the contour length should meet the construction requirements of the drawings.
The gabion box is not easily deformed and has uniform mesh holes.
The shear strength and corrosion resistance of the gabion box must meet the relevant requirements of "Mechanical Weaving Steel Wire and Its Components for Engineering".
Gabion boxes need to have a quality certificate and factory certificate before they can be used.
The thickness of gabion mesh rolls ranges from 0.15 to 0.5 meters. They come in various shapes, each serving different purposes and providing protective functions.
Gabion mesh rolls have good stability, flexibility, corrosion resistance, and permeability. Therefore, they are widely used in the fields of hydraulic engineering, slope protection projects, port and dock engineering, and riverbed engineering, helping to control the direction of debris flow and floods.
The gabion mattress, also known as the gabion revetment, is made of hexagonal metal mesh. It is a mattress-shaped engineering component, with its thickness being far less than its length and width.
The gabion mattress has the advantages of being flexible and adaptable to the environment. It is mainly used in water conservation and riverbank protection, preventing riverbanks from being damaged by water flow and waves. It also allows for the natural convective exchange between the water body and the soil beneath the slope, achieving environmental balance.
Generally, the thickness of a gabion mattress ranges from 0.17 to 0.3 meters. Gabion mattresses are generally low in height, flat, and large in structure, with double partitions and single partitions. Double-partition gabion mattresses are more commonly used due to their ease of construction and lower cost.
