Modular retaining wall design.
For a detailed discussion of design and analysis parameters the design manual for segmental retaining walls ref.
The counterforts facing and footing are custom designed for the wall greatly increasing the material efficiency of the cantilever system.
The structural capacity of the srw system will vary with the srw unit size shape batter etc.
Precast modular retaining walls.
Big walls usually entail excavating and moving tons of soil and gravel as well as the heavy block itself.
T wall is a gravity retaining wall system consisting of modular precast concrete units and select backfill.
Before using a modular retaining wall block to build a wall the following design considerations must be made.
Long x 6 to 8 in.
B if a toe slope is present the bottom of the wall should not be above the finished grade at a distance of 48 1 2 m in front of the wall.
Wall units shall be allan block retaining wall units as produced by a licensed manufacturer.
The interlocking retaining wall block can be used to build walls up to 24 to 36 inches high depending on the size of the block.
1 should be consulted.
Avoid having downspouts pointed at the retaining wall and if it s against the house keep soil and mulch well below the siding.
These blocks are 16 to 18 in.
Counterforts also reduce the moment in the footing allowing for a more efficient and economical footing design.
Wall units shall have minimum 28 day compressive strength of 3000 psi 20 7 mpa in accordance with astm c1372.
Segmental retaining walls can be designed as either conventional or as reinforced soil as illustrated in figure 1.
Our terrafirm retaining panels can be used within standalone retaining wall solutions or seamlessly integrated into fences and boundary walls resulting in dramatic time and cost savings.
Modularwalls terafirm retaining panel offers a stylish solution that combines beauty and strength.
2 1 modular wall units.
Although wall heights up to 8 ft 2 44 m for conventional gravity walls and 14 ft 4 28 m for soil reinforced walls are presented properly engineered walls can exceed these heights.
A for a typical landscape wall the total wall height must not exceed 36 1 2 m.
Manufacturer s recommendations should be followed regarding the capacity of their particular system for the soil loads under consideration.
The system is a simple proven solution for grade separation on highway bridge railroad water commercial applications and more.
The concrete units are facing with monolithic perpendicular stems forming the shape of a t.
