Super Retaining Wall

An L-shaped wall that uses the soil it holds to stay put. Twelve heights from 0.6 m to 3.0 m, drained and coupled at every joint; for taller cuts the segmental wall goes up to 9.15 m.

Features

• Design basis: γc 24.5 kN/m³ · γs 19 kN/m³ · φ 30° · surcharge q 10 kN/m².
• Checked for sliding & overturning: Sliding Fs ≥ 1.5; eccentricity |e| ≤ B/6 keeps the base in compression.
• Drained at the back: ø70/75 holes with a soil-stop filter relieve water pressure behind the wall.
• Coupled units: Flange couplings near the top tie neighbours into one line; draft strips close the joints.
• Stem and heel in one casting
• The heel does the work
• A haunch at the root
• Drain holes with a filter
• Blue steel connectors
• 2 m units

Applications

• A river between the hills: Walls on both banks stop the monsoon river eating into the road and the fields above it.
• Holding a coastal road above the beach: A line of L-walls at the back of the beach keeps the sea-front road standing: rock armour at the toe breaks the waves, the retained fill carries two lanes and a promenade.

What it prevents

• Landslips & slope failure: The heel sits under the retained fill; its weight resists sliding and overturning.
• Water pressure behind the wall: ø75 drain holes with soil-stop filters relieve the build-up that topples walls.
• Cracked site-cast walls: Factory-cast, reinforced units checked for Fs ≥ 1.5 against sliding.
• Weeks of formwork: Set by crane, couple, backfill, the line rises in days.

Installation

1. Check ground: Required ground strength from 30 kN/m² (H 600) to 110 kN/m² (H 2500).
2. Foundation: Crushed stone, foundation concrete, 20 mm bedding mortar.
3. Set & couple: Place units, bolt the flange couplings, fit draft strips at joints.
4. Backfill: Filter behind the drain holes, then fill in layers over the heel.
