Types of Retaining Walls
When considering a retaining wall, it's important to understand the different types available, each with its unique benefits and applications:
- Gravity Walls: These rely on their mass to resist pressure from behind and are typically made from heavy materials such as stone or concrete.
- Cantilevered Walls: Featuring a reinforced concrete base, these walls are designed to convert horizontal pressure from the soil into vertical pressure on the ground beneath.
- Sheet Piling Walls: Ideal for tight spaces, these walls use steel, vinyl, or wood planks driven into the ground.
- Anchored Walls: These walls are supported by anchors driven into the earth, providing additional strength and stability.
