The invention provides a rib plate type
retaining wall and a construction method thereof. The
retaining wall comprises a foundation, a wall panel on the foundation and drain holes in the wall panel. The
retaining wall is structurally characterized in that vertical rib plates are fixedly connected to the soil adjacent face of the wall panel at equal intervals, and an
inverter filter is arranged at the portion, between the rib plates, of the soil adjacent face of the wall panel. The construction method of the retaining wall includes the steps that a, vertical grooves matched with the rib plates are dug in slope
soil mass; b, rib plate rebars are bound into the vertical grooves in the step a, connecting rebars connected with the wall panel are reserved, and concrete is poured into the vertical grooves to form the rib plates; c, the foundation is constructed; d, wall panel rebars are bound to the foundation, the wall panel rebars and the connecting rebars are connected, a wall panel formwork is erected, drain hole pipes are embedded, and concrete is poured into the wall panel formwork to form the wall panel; e, the inverted filter is laid at the portion, between the rib plates, of the soil adjacent face of the wall panel, and
soil mass is backfilled between the inverted layer and a slope and compacted till the wall top. The retaining wall is suitable for supporting and retaining steep slopes or embankment sections or
cutting steep slope sections, and is low in construction cost and easy to popularize.
