Retaining Wall Design South Africa

[Luciana]

Iam interested in designing retaining wall subassembly with a condition that - if EG>design profile then retaining wall height is EG + 0.3m and when design profile>EG then retaining wall height = Design profile+0.3. Any idea how to do?

you were close with the first set of pictures! I attached for you a subassembly made in 2019 for the first face of the wall. I think you can review it and built the thickness for the wall directly adjacent to the two face points

I have two target parameters surface and elevation. then I place two auxiliary point using these two parameters. you will have to set the target in your Civil 3D corridor for them to work correctly!!!

2021 marked our 50th anniversary in the United States. We began in 1971 by working with Caltrans on a massive landslide repair in the Angeles National Forest, using a newly patented retaining wall system called Reinforced Earth. Since then, our engineers have led the industry in researching and advancing the MSE technology, while building on our array of retaining wall types and other solutions.

Tens of thousands of examples of our work are spread throughout every state. We have the experience and expertise to tackle any job, from a small arch bridge to a design-build project with 2 million square feet of retaining walls.

Because water always runs downhill, it is always best to stabilise a slope with reinforced beds that run across the slope. An ideal design is comprised of beds sized to fit the hillside in ways that make them easy to plant and maintain.

The frames or low walls used to stabilise a terraced vegetable garden can be made from many different materials, including those discussed below. All can be reinforced with iron rebar stakes, which are far superior to wood stakes because they never rot.

Natural stone is often free if you live in a mountainous area, and as long as you stack a low wall so that it tilts slightly backward, into the slope, it should need only minor restacking at the beginning of each season. Plants and stone always look great together, so it is often a top choice for hillside beds less than 18 inches (45cm) high.

Retaining wall blocks that mimic stone are easy to work with, and their uniform size simplifies bed construction. Extra reinforcement is not needed for block retaining walls less than 18 inches (45cm) high. Concrete blocks are less costly, though heavy to handle.

Sometimes Terraforce blocks are specified for more exceptional purposes than the run-of-mill uses encountered by retaining wall contractors daily. One of these involved the creation of an underground space for a Fat Trap at world renown restaurant, Overture, at Hidden Valley Wines in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
