Reinforced Concrete Buttress Wall

No doubt there are many concrete basement walls without reinforcement.

Reinforced concrete buttress wall.

Principles of retaining wall design. They consist of a relatively thin stem and a base slab the base is also divided into two parts the heel and toe the heel is the part of the base under the backfill. By a basement wall i mean a wall with living space on one side and outside soil or other backfill on the other and a superstructure overhead. Retaining walls and soil reinforcement are at the heart of what we do.

Buttresses can be built close to an exterior wall or built away from a wall. A gravity wall h 3m masonry or stone b cantilever wall h 3m and h 6m c counterfort wall h 8m d buttress wall transverse stem support provided on front side e e bridge abutment additional horizontal restraint from bridge deck a gravity wall h 3m masonry or stone. Cantilever retaining walls are constructed of reinforced concrete. A buttress is a structure built to support or reinforce the height of a masonry wall.

Retaining wall retains earth when level difference exists between two surfaces. Buttresses counteract side thrust lateral force preventing a wall from bulging and buckling by pushing against it transferring the force to the ground. Design of cantilever retaining wall counterfort and buttress retaining wall deals with structural design. And it is made of concrete reinforced concrete.
