Wire retaining wall apparatus and method for earthen formations

摘要

A retaining wall for an earthen formation (E) is provided by welded wire grid work trays (T) having floor sections (10) which are embedded in the formation and face sections (12) which are disposed at the face of the formation. The trays (T) are superimposed one above the other with the edges of the face sections (12) secured together. An improved construction comprising preformed kinked extensions (18) secures the face sections (12) together without the necessity of separate fasteners, or the plastic deformation of the tray wires.
