The invention discloses a temporary light soil retaining structure for side slope and a construction method, the side slope temporary light soil retaining structure comprises a fixing base, fixing rivets, a first sliding rod, a soil retaining plate, a
hydraulic cylinder, a second sliding rod, a supporting rod and a drainage
pipe, a concrete filling chamber is arranged in the bottom end of the fixing base, and a
stainless steel wire mesh is installed at the bottom end of the concrete filling chamber. A pouring
pipe communicated with the concrete filling chamber is arranged at one end of the fixing base, a first sliding rod is fixed to the position, close to the other end, of the fixing base, a first sliding sleeve is fixed to the bottom end of the soil retaining plate and slidably connectedwith the first sliding rod, the soil retaining plate is of a trapezoidal structure, and a
hydraulic cylinder and a second sliding rod are fixed to the top of the fixing base. The second sliding rod is slidably sleeved with a push block. The push block is connected with the output end of the
hydraulic cylinder, a second sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the second sliding rod, the top of thesecond sliding sleeve is hinged to one end of a supporting rod, the other end of the supporting rod is hinged to one side of a soil retaining plate, and a drainage
pipe is installed on the other sideof the soil retaining plate. The breast board is firm in supporting and convenient to construct.
