A retaining wall that relies solely on it s own weight to stand up is called a gravity wall.
They are generally economical up to 10 feet in height for cast concrete structures.
They are constructed of interlocking individual boxes made from timber or pre cast concrete.
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.
The system is a simple proven solution for grade separation on highway bridge railroad water commercial applications and more.
Wood retaining walls 14.
It also works well in situations where you need to access utilities behind the area after the wall has been built.
Gravity walls are built with massive blocks that use a tongue and groove system to lock together.
Embedment length grid length must extend far enough behind the wall to create a sufficient reinforced gravity mass.
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.
How retaining walls fail.
Ultrablock is used for a continuously growing variety of applications that goes beyond standard retaining walls.
Gravity retaining walls depend on their own weight and any soil resting on the concrete in resisting lateral earth.
T wall is a gravity retaining wall system consisting of modular precast concrete units and select backfill.
Typically a minimum of 60 of total wall height.
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.

Cantilever retaining walls are most frequently and extensively used type of retaining wall.
As a result it is also known as gravity retaining wall.
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.
Grid strength select the right strength grid for the job.

Usually are sufficiently massive to be unreinforced.
How does it work.
Then the boxes are filled with crushed stone or other coarse granular materials to create a free draining structure.
