Swimming pool walls 18.
Reinforced concrete gravity wall.
They are constructed of interlocking individual boxes made from timber or pre cast concrete.
Wood retaining walls 14.
How retaining walls fail.
Ultrablock is used for a continuously growing variety of applications that goes beyond standard retaining walls.
Setback sliding wedge every retaining wall supports a wedge of soil.
The system is a simple proven solution for grade separation on highway bridge railroad water commercial applications and more.
How does it work.
Pilaster masonry walls 19.
The concrete units are facing with monolithic perpendicular stems forming the shape of a t.
Typically a minimum of 60 of total wall height.
Restrained non yielding walls 20.
Monolithic cast walls are generally formed.
A retaining wall that relies solely on it s own weight to stand up is called a gravity wall.
As a result it is also known as gravity retaining wall.
Grid strength select the right strength grid for the job.
Cantilever retaining walls are most frequently and extensively used type of retaining wall.
It also works well in situations where you need to access utilities behind the area after the wall has been built.
Embedment length grid length must extend far enough behind the wall to create a sufficient reinforced gravity mass.
Gravity walls are built with massive blocks that use a tongue and groove system to lock together.
Gravity retaining walls depend on their own weight and any soil resting on the concrete in resisting lateral earth.
Then the boxes are filled with crushed stone or other coarse granular materials to create a free draining structure.
Construction topics and caveats 24.
Crib retaining walls are a form of gravity wall.
T wall is a gravity retaining wall system consisting of modular precast concrete units and select backfill.
Choose ltads grids from 500 lb ft to 4000 lb ft 7 3 kn m to 58 4 kn m.
They are generally economical up to 10 feet in height for cast concrete structures.
Whether your project requires a material bin a 25 foot tall gravity wall a 50 foot tall reinforced wall an impact barrier or blast shield look to ultrablock for the right solution.
Meanwhile the reinforced concrete retaining wall opposes the lateral pressure by constructional action for instance bending and outcomes in thinner section.
Cantilevered tilt up walls 13.
Sheet pile walls 21.
Usually are sufficiently massive to be unreinforced.
Segmental retaining walls 17.
Soldier pile walls 22.
Designed for effective peak ground acceleration of 0 32g d 10 25 reinforced concrete retaining wall type 4 and 4sw concrete cantilever wall with sloping backfill and sloping front face.
Allan block combines the basic engineering principles of setback leverage and total unit mass with simple mechanics to make highly stable gravity walls.
