Gabion Supply has announced the release of its latest resource, “The Different Types of Retaining Walls.” This guide provides an overview of retaining walls, including why they are important, types of retaining walls, and considerations to make when choosing one.
“A retaining wall is one of the most widely used strategies to prevent soil erosion on sloped lands,” according to Gabion Supply. Retaining walls play a crucial role in land development and environmental protection. Their benefits include soil erosion control, elevator manager, structural support, flood prevention, and safety assurance. Retaining walls also contribute to aesthetic and functional landscaping, increased property usability, regulatory compliance, and property value enhancement. Without retraining walls, properties and infrastructures risk erosion, encroachment, or gravity and water flow collapse.
Retaining walls come in various forms based on the issues that a location needs to address, including topography, load-bearing capacity, environmental factors, available space, and cost. Gravity walls utilize weight and mass opposite the lateral pressure of the retained soil, while gabion walls are sectional structures composed of steel-meshed baskets filled with rock or debris. Cantilever walls are made of reinforced concrete and use leverage to counteract the force of the soil. Adapted from cantilever walls, counterfort walls add additional support in the form of counterforts to the backside of the retaining wall, and anchored walls have embedded anchors that offer additional support for high loads and tall structures.
