The invention discloses an external water interception and purification type urban river multi-element ecological embankment physical 
structural system. The urban river multi-element ecological embankment physical 
structural system comprises a first-class platform ecological embankment physical 
structural system, a second-class platform ecological embankment physical structural 
system and a slope ecological embankment physical structural 
system which are organically combined on a river 
bank slope, wherein the first-class platform ecological embankment physical structural 
system is provided with an 
urban surface source 
sewage runoff collecting groove, a groove type ecological concrete building block, a vertical first-class 
retaining wall and the like; the second-class platform ecological embankment physical structural system is provided with a 
sedimentation and purification tank, a current restriction baffle and the like; and the slope ecological embankment physical structural system is provided with a 
bedding, iconological concrete, a 
plant growth pad and the like. The urban river multi-element ecological embankment physical structural system effectively integrates 
water treatment functions such as rainfall surface source collection and purification, 
discharge port 
sewage interception and purification, physical absorption and 
filtration and 
plant absorption and purification on the premise that the stability and safety of 
bank slopes are maintained, ecological environments and landscapes of urban riparian zones are improved, and the 
self cleaning capacity of rivers is well played.
