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