Gravity Retaining Walls

Gravity Retaining Walls
Design/Drawings & Quantities Per Unit Length

Retaining wall is a structure designed and constructed to resist the lateral pressure of soil. Gravity retaining walls have greater stability against the lateral soil pressure. Gravity retaining walls are built from concrete, stones or any suitable heavy materials. The choice of materials depends on site conditions. Proper drainage must be provided to reduce the hydrostatic pressure of ground water behind the wall.

It is necessary that a retaining wall must not only be design properly, it must also be construct properly.
