Pics. So this article is largely a review of basic principles that affect any retaining wall/backfill project, with some notes. Msquared48 (structural) 12 may 10 05:22.
The information you seek should have been spec'd in the structural notes for the wall by the designing engineer. Maximum slope steepness is dictated retaining walls subject to inundation should clearly state that type ds backfill will be required. When we build a retaining wall we don't only hold back the soil.
If using block that requires pin connection, insert pins prior to backfilling to prevent gravel from plugging pin holes (description in step 4).
