What Are Retaining Walls?
A retaining wall is a structure designed to hold back or retain soil, rock, or other materials in a sloped or uneven area. They are commonly used to prevent erosion, manage changes in elevation, and create usable spaces in areas with varying terrain. Retaining walls serve several important functions: erosion control, slope stabilization, grading and leveling, aesthetic enhancement, expansion of usable space, water management and structural support.
Materials for Retaining Walls
Retaining walls come in various designs and materials. The choice of design and material depends on factors such as the height of the wall, the soil characteristics, the desired aesthetic, and the intended purpose of the wall. It’s important to design and construct retaining walls properly to ensure their stability and longevity, as failure could lead to property damage, erosion, and safety hazards.
Here are some of the best materials to work with when building a retaining wall:
- Engineering blocks
- CMU Blocks (cinder blocks)
- Brick / Natural stones
- Concrete
