Applied Research On Wood-plastic Material In Landscape Design Of Modern City

With the accelerated process of industrialization, environmental issues and energy issues have become the focus of attention of world, along with the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Currently, over-harvesting of forest resources as well as the destruction of vegetation is causing soil erosion, floods, sandstorms,and deterioration of the ecological environment in China and other undesirable consequences. China’s forest resources are particularly scarce.Wood conservation and development of wood substitutes are a problem to be solved.With the improvement of living standards, the environmental requirements of the urban landscape have become increasingly high. People respect for nature and to be close to the green. Urban landscape design brings fresh air to the city, and pleasant environment. Creating ecological, harmonious and beautiful modern cities landscape become the pursuit of a new era. In the design of urban landscape, solid wood materials are the most widely used, but they prone to rot, insects and it is difficult for the later maintenance. So, looking for a new generation of wood material as the basis for the modern city landscape design material is important.As a new type of environment-friendly materials,wood plastic materials are endorsements of eco-design products, maintaining the characteristics of wood and plastic. They are easy to cut, fix and bond. They also are natural texture, of which thermal expansion and contraction coefficient are small. The environmental performances of them such as high density, high strength, acid and alkali-resistance, corrosion-resistance, anti-aging, non-absorbent, pest control and moisture and so on, are remarkable. It is worth exploring how to use wood plastic materials rationally in the modern urban landscape design.Through an extensive literature review and site visits, the article gets a systemic understanding on the practicality, decorativeness and applicability of wood plastic materials. At the same time, as to specifically investigate the application research of wood plastic materials in the modern urban landscape design, this paper analyzes and studies comprehensively on the application forms, installation and construction and post-maintenance of wood-plastic materials in the urban landscape design.By analysis and summary, it concludes the law that should follow, design principles and trends of wood-plastic materials in the modern urban landscape design. Only through constant innovation can create modern urban landscape which makes people physical and mental pleasant.
