A RETAINING WALL CONSTRUCTED FROM T-WALL MODULES

摘要

ONE EMBODIMENT OF A T-WALL MODULE (10) MADE ACCORDING TO THIS INVENTION IS ESSENTIALLY A FLAT FLANGE SLAB (11) AND A FOUNDATION IN THE FORM OF A CONCRETE SUB-BASE LAYER (20). THE SLAB (11) IS INTEGRALLY PRE-CAST WITH AT LEAST ONE TEE-SHAPED RIB (12) RUNNING ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE SLAB (11), THE WIDTH OR DEPTH OF EACH TEE-SHAPED RIB (12) INCREASING TOWARDS ITS BASE. THE BASE OF THE RIB (12) IS PROVIDED WITH TWO LEGS (121). A PLURALITY OF DRAINAGE HOLES (13) IS PROVIDED IN THE FLAME SLAB (11). THE CONCRETE SUB-BASE LAYER (20) IS APPROPRIATELY REINFORCED WITH METALLIC ELEMENTS (21). TWO METHODS OF CONSTRUCTING A RETAINING WALL USING THE T-WALL MODULES (10) ARE ALSO DISCLOSED.(FIG 2)
