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