Uselive stakes as additional anchors
12、 and propagating material onthe downslope side of live fascine bundles.3. Summary of Practice3.1 A live fascine is comprised of live cut plant stems andbranches, typically of woody plant species (for example,willow, dogwood, poplar, etc.) that are formed into linearbundles. These bundles are install
13、ed in shallow trenches,secured in the trench with wood stakes, then backfilled withenough soil to leave a small portion on top of the branch bundleexposed. Live fascines assist to control erosion, encouragevegetative top growth establishment and rooting for shallowsoil stabilization.4. Significance
14、and Use4.1 Live fascines are used to provide erosion and sedimen-tation control by increasing infiltration, slowing or redirectingrunoff, and trapping seed and sediments. The method providesshallow mechanical surface slope stabilization, and providesenhanced values through vegetative growth and addi
15、tionalshallow soil reinforcement through the development of theroots. The ability of live fascines to function properly dependson the quality and choice of the materials used to construct thelive fascine, the means and methods of fabrication and1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Commit

For the live fascine to
19、 function completely, it isimportant that the live fascine develops suitable growth.5. Materials5.1 Live Woody Plant Material are woody stems and branchcuttings of vegetatively self-propagating woody plant species.5.1.1 When constructing a live fascine, use only fresh orwell-preserved viable cutting
20、s. Do not use dead plant materialin live fascines. The stems or branches should be long, straightand flexible to allow easy assembly into bundles. Typically,plants are harvested near the project site within the sameclimatic zone. Cut the plant material in lengths ranging from 2to4m(6to13ft). Greater
21、 lengths may be used if handling andsite conditions allow. The caliper (diameter) of cuttings gen-erally range from 12 to 25 mm (0.5 to 1 in.). The greatestsuccess results from cutting and installing vegetation duringthe dormant season. See Figs. 1-3.5.2 Brush Cutting ImplementsCut live vegetation w
22、ithtools such as pruning shears, loppers, clearing saws, chainsaws,or similar. Do not use axes or blunt implements.5.3 TiesSecure the bundle of live woody plant materialwith ties mode from baling twine, rope, belts or nylon ties (forexample, electrical ties). Each tie should be long enough toreach a
23、round the bundle, and strong enough to keep the bundlesecure.5.4 AnchorsWooden stakes (dead stout stakes) or metalrebar is used to anchor the live fascine in place.6. Construction6.1 Complete excavation and other earthwork before thelive fascine construction begins. The finished slope surfaceshould
24、be approved prior to installing the live fascine. Asshown in Figs. 2 and 4, the live fanzines and its trenches areperpendicular to the slopes surface or at a small angle tofacilitate runoff of rain/surface water. Excavate a shallowtrench 150- to 200-cm (6- to 8-in.) deep and wide at theappropriate l
25、ocation. In multiple row configurations excavateall additional trenches. The trench should be slightly shallowerthan the diameter of live fascines. Temporarily stockpileexcavated material on the uphill side of the trench. Any soilamendments, if needed, should be placed in the bottom andalong the sid
26、es of the trench and mixed into the soil, beforeplacing the live fascines.6.2 Harvest live woody plant material using a sharp, cleanbrush-cutting implement. The cuttings may be temporarilystored outdoors in water or in a moist environment for amaximum of 2 days when the outdoor temperature remainsbe
27、low 10C (50F), or refrigerated storage at 1 to 3C (33 to39F) can be used for up to two (2) months, provided humiditylevels are maintained above 90%.6.3 Assemble the live fascine into bundles approximately150 to 200 mm (6 to 8 in.) in diameter. Stagger cuttings tomaintain a reasonably uniform live fa
28、scine diameter. Maintainlive fascine uniformity by spacing ties approximately 0.30-m(1-ft) on center.6.4 The installation of live fascines normally begins at thebottom of the slope and proceeds upward, however alternateprocedures may also be employed. To minimize live fascinedamage while hand transp
29、orting them in place, use one personat approximately every 1.5 m (5 ft) of the length to support thebundle.6.5 Place the live fascines in the trench and secure with thedead stout stake (or other inert anchoring device) drivenvertically through the center of the live fascine at1m(3ft)oncenter. The an
30、choring device is driven flush with the top of thelive fascines. Use extra stakes at connections and overlaps. Iflive stakes are added, install them on the downhill side of thelive fascines at the same spacing between the dead stout stakes.Remove and replace any live stakes that shatter or break dur
