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