There are many types of materials that can be used to create retaining walls like concrete blocks poured concrete treated timbers rocks or boulders.
11 concrete wall is a retaining wall.
A concrete retaining wall can be described as a structure that retains the lateral pressure usually formed due to soil.
This retaining wall is built from concrete slabs in a brickwork pattern which alone would be quite a strong feature.
Terracotta concrete wall block is the perfect complement to any residential landscape design.
A retaining wall holds back or retains the soil behind it.
The two principal types of retaining walls are.
A difference of elevation levels can be seen on the either side of the.
In simple terms it is nothing but a wall that holds the soil on one side of it so the desired changes of the ground level elevation can be achieved.

A retaining wall is a structure that holds or retains soil behind it.
Retaining walls can be constructed using a variety of materials from poured concrete and large timbers to natural stones even bricks.

These walls cantilever loads like a beam to a large structural footing converting horizontal pressures from behind the wall to vertical pressures on the ground below.
The low maintenance easy to install wall blocks are a beautiful solution for multiple projects from gardens and tree rings to curved wall projects and terraces to complement.
Gravity walls rely on their mass to withstand the pressure of the soil behind.
They may be constructed from concrete or stone or a combination or using a proprietary precast concrete block system see figures 2 and 3.
But the most interesting element of this wall is the gaps left between the concrete which have been filled with plants creating a living retaining wall.
Considerable knowledge and experience is needed before undertaking such a project.
Some are easy to use others have a shorter life span but all can retain soil.
Gravity wall or geogrid reinforced wall.
Cantilevered retaining walls are made from an internal stem of steel reinforced cast in place concrete or mortared masonry often in the shape of an inverted t.
The pressure behind a tall wall holding back tons of soil and water can be enormous.
