Concrete Rubble Retaining Wall

Gravity walls can be built out of various materials including concrete stone rubble granite rubble gabion baskets or modular block.
Concrete rubble retaining wall. These walls are also provided to support earth loose stone coal etc. Rubble walls typically have a concrete footing and the footing width is 6 12 wider than the base of the wall. Brick masonry stone masonry or plain concrete retaining walls. Design considerations gravity retaining walls will vary in height depending on the application.
Embedded footing cantilever walls may be built from round or square h5 treated timber or precast concrete poles or i beams. Therefore they are usually not reinforced with steel. The wall acts as one mass to resist the thrust from the backing and is much more stronger than dry stone masonry wall. The stability of the wall depends entirely upon its dead weight.
The lateral forces from backfill is resisted by the weight of wall itself and due to their massive nature they develop little or no tension. The base of a rubble wall is usually around 1 2 of the height of the wall. Rubble walls provide a unrivaled natural and classic look that is hard to achieve with other wall systems. Poles are typically spaced between 900 and 1 800 mm and set in concrete see figure 5.
Rubble walls are effective retaining wall systems but become more and more costly as the height of the wall increases. Gravity walls are the earliest known retaining structures. They are built from solid concrete or rock rubble mortared together.
