REINFORCED EARTH STRUCTURES AND FACING UNITS THEREFOR

摘要

A facing unit for a reinforced earth structure, the unit having a facing element (1) that is designed to extend substantially vertically in the finished structure. A base (2) extends rearwardly from the rear surface of the facing element and at least one anchoring element (6) of lesser width than the base extends upwardly from the base. The anchoring element has a retaining surface (12) spaced rearwardly from and facing towards the rear surface of the facing element over which may be placed a link (21) connected to an anchoring member (23) extending into compacted earth behind the units.
