MODULAR BLOCK RETAINING WALL CONSTRUCTION AND COMPONENTS

摘要

A modular block wall includes dry cast, unreinforced modular wall blocks (40) with anchor type, or frictional type or composite type soil stabilizing elements (42, 44) recessed therein and attached thereto by vertical rods (46) which also connect the blocks (40) together. The soil stabilizing elements (42, 44) are positioned in counterbores (70) or slots in the blocks (40) and project into the compacted soil (48) behind the courses of modular wall blocks (40).
