Reinforced Concrete-filled Segmental
Retaining Walls
 |
Occasionally severe space
limitations dictate the use of Terraforce blocks in combination
with reinforced concrete infill or stabilised backfill.
|
This type of installation, while similar
in nature to conventional reinforced concrete / masonry retaining
walls, offers a number of added advantages:
- Ease and speed of construction - no shuttering
and less specialised construction skills required.
- Aesthetic appeal - choose between split
face blocks or smooth moulded appearance. It is even possible
to retain a degree of plantibility in some cases.
Design procedures are the same as those employed
for traditional reinforced masonry retaining walls.
