What Is a Retaining Wall and How Do Different Types Work? An Engineering Guide

A retaining wall is a structure designed to hold back a mass of soil or other material and maintain a difference in ground level on either side of it. Retaining walls are ubiquitous in civil engineering — they support highway cuttings and embankments, stabilise slopes, enable level changes in urban landscapes, form the walls of basement structures, protect riverbanks and harbour edges, and allow construction ...

Drainage- retaining wall-geocomposite sheet drain

To prevent the water pressure behind the retaining walls a drainage layer is generally needed. The convetional method is to use gravel behind the wall and leave some holes on he wall. The water leakage from these holes causes bad view . And sometimes the gravel may be expensive with the transportation costs. One of the easiest methods is to use geocomposite drainage sheets. In ...

Retaining wall drainage with geocomposites

Behind the retaining walls we need drainage and filter layers to carry the water to the drainage holes or to the drainage pipes at the bottom. In traditional methods we generally use gravel or sand as drainage layers. Especially in residential areas the leakage water coming out off the holes of retaining wall doesn't wanted. It is not very good to see some muddy water ...
