Three structural forms of retaining wall

Cantilever retaining wall is composed of vertical walls (wall panel * and wall bottom plate) including toe plate and heel plate, which are inverted T-shaped and have three cantilevers, namely vertical wall, toe plate and heel plate. The buttress retaining wall consists of wallboard (vertical wall), toe slab, heel slab and buttress (buttress). Thin-walled retaining wall is a reinforced concrete structure, belonging to light retaining wall, including cantilever type and buttress type.

structural stability

The structural stability of cantilever retaining wall and buttress retaining wall depends on the weight of the wall body and the gravity of the fill above the heel plate. The toe plate of the wall also significantly increases the anti-overturning stability and greatly reduces the base stress.

Convenient construction

Their main features are simple structure, convenient construction, small wall section and light weight, which can give full play to the strength performance of materials and adapt to the foundation with low bearing capacity.

Economic achievements

However, a certain amount of steel and cement is needed, especially when the wall is high, the amount of steel increases sharply, which affects its economic performance.

application area

Under normal circumstances, the wall height is less than 6M, and the wall height is more than 6M. They are suitable for areas lacking stones and earthquakes. Due to the construction conditions of wall heel plate, it is generally used as shoulder wall or embankment wall in fill section.
