Thermal Properties of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Lightweight Substrate for Ecological Slope Protection

A new ecological substrate is proposed to achieve a desired electric conduction and heating to protect the slope plants from freeze injury. Expanded polystyrene (EPS), cement, carbon fiber, graphite, and raw soil are the main components of the ecological substrate. The electrical conductivity, heati...
