Abstract

A retaining wall system is provided for mechanically stabilizing an earthen wall. The system comprises anchor receiving channels, anchoring tie back strips, and a plurality of connecting anchors. A face panel comprises at least one fastener receiving channel and a prefabricated wall fascia panel. Tie back members extend from the wall panels and are to be embedded within the earthen soil or backfill material thereby securing the tie backs and the wall panels in a fixed assembled, position.

Description

[0001]This U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application claims the benefit of priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 813,043 filed Apr. 17, 2013, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to retaining walls. More specifically, it pertains to a mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall and a system and method of using the mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall.BACKGROUND[0003]Known retaining wall structures, including those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,824,293 to Brown et al., which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, fail to disclose various features of the present invention. Brown et al. provide an elongated slit on one side of a panel, but fail to disclose various features of the present invention as shown and described herein, including members, anchor members, and attachment means of the present invention.[0004]U.S. Pat. Nos. 4...
