Retaining walls reinforcement

Traditionally, retaining walls have been constructed with concrete or masonry facing, to resist lateral pressure from the soil and the water pressure. By using the principle of reinforced soil the wall can be constructed without external support. Reinforced retaining walls may be built with an inclination up to 90°. The activation of the reinforcement results in a small lateral displacement of the structure.


The facing has therefore a surface protective and an aesthetical purpose.

Parameters such as the height of the wall, the type of filling materials and subsoil, will determine the type of geogrid or geotextile to install on the wall.
