Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of engineering technology, and in particular relates to an interlocking retaining wall device. Background Technology

[0002] Interlocking retaining walls, also known as sand-fixing walls or sand-fixing baskets, are a type of windbreak and sand-fixing facility widely used in various fields. Their main functions are to reduce wind speed, mitigate wind damage, stabilize sand dunes, and protect slopes, ensuring the normal operation and safety of related facilities. In the railway sector, they effectively prevent trains from overturning or derailing in strong winds, ensuring smooth and safe train operation. In highway engineering, they protect the roadbed and pavement structure, reducing wind and sand erosion and burial. In environmental protection, they are commonly used in open-air material yards and coal storage areas to suppress dust pollution and protect the environment. Furthermore, interlocking retaining walls also have applications in construction and marine engineering, such as protecting buildings from strong winds and serving as offshore platforms against wind and waves.

[0003] Existing retaining walls commonly come in various structural forms, including earthen embankments, tie rods, L-shaped structures, and column-slab structures. Some retaining walls utilize steel supports, combined with windbreak panels of specific opening ratios and shapes, to reduce wind speed and change wind direction, achieving effects such as windbreak and dust suppression, sand stabilization, and slope protection. Modular retaining walls, on the other hand, are assembled from prefabricated modules, facilitating construction and allowing for flexible adjustments to length and height as needed.

[0004] However, existing retaining wall designs have several problems. Some retaining walls lack structural strength, making them prone to deformation or damage under strong winds, affecting their protective effect and service life. Some designs are not windproof enough to meet the high wind resistance requirements of specific environments. Furthermore, some retaining walls have poor adaptability, struggling to adapt to complex terrain and variable wind conditions; or their installation costs are high, for example, requiring piling for fixing, increasing construction difficulty and costs. In some cases, the retaining walls lack durability, making them susceptible to environmental erosion, leading to increased maintenance costs. Simultaneously, the design of some retaining walls is not optimized for cost control, affecting their economic efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0024] The ends of the mesh have multiple bending structures, and the multiple bending structures at both ends of each mesh are staggered and aligned to form a through insertion channel, in which a connector is inserted.

[0025] Optionally, the mesh, the bottom plate, the mesh cage partition, and the top cover are all made of woven or welded metal wire, and the mesh, the bottom plate, the partition, and the cover have mesh holes; the mesh hole size is used as a measuring scale.

[0026] The interlocking retaining wall device proposed in this application has significant advantages over the prior art, specifically in the following aspects:

[0027] (1) Convenience of transportation and assembly: The interlocking retaining wall device of this application uses wire mesh as the base material, which greatly simplifies the transportation process and makes handling extremely convenient. During assembly, installation can be completed quickly using only simple snap-fit ​​parts, without the need for complicated tools or cumbersome procedures, thereby saving a significant amount of time and labor costs. This convenience not only improves work efficiency but also reduces construction difficulty, making it particularly suitable for application scenarios that require rapid deployment.

[0028] (2) Improved production efficiency and flexibility: By abandoning the traditional complex and time-consuming production processes, the interlocking retaining wall device of this application significantly improves production efficiency through its simple assembly method. Furthermore, this design provides greater flexibility to the production process, enabling it to adapt flexibly to changes in different application scenarios and needs, thus enhancing the adaptability and market competitiveness of the overall solution. This makes the device more advantageous in the face of ever-changing market demands.

[0029] (3) Structural stability and safety: By optimizing the structural design, arrangement, and overall shape of the cages, this device constructs a robust and reliable retaining wall structure that can effectively resist strong wind impacts, ensuring safety and reliability during use. This structural optimization not only extends the service life of the device but also reduces the risk of damage caused by wind, lowers maintenance costs, and provides users with long-term stable protection.

[0030] (4) Precise airflow control: This device enables precise control of airflow, meeting the requirements for efficient wind blocking while avoiding airflow turbulence that may result from complete airflow obstruction. This capability allows the retaining wall to not only effectively reduce wind speed but also maintain good air circulation, further enhancing its performance and environmental adaptability, especially under variable climate conditions. This design helps improve the overall performance and applicability of the retaining wall.

[0031] (5) Sand Suppression and Slope Stabilization Effect: This device not only effectively blocks wind but also has sand suppression and slope stabilization functions. By properly setting the filling materials (such as stones, sandbags, etc.) inside the gabion, it can effectively suppress sand and prevent dust from flying in windy and sandy areas, protecting the surrounding environment and facilities from wind and sand damage. In addition, the gabion structure and its filling materials can also enhance the stability of the slope and prevent soil erosion and landslides. This design not only provides an efficient windbreak for desert edge areas or areas with frequent wind and sand, but also significantly improves the stability of slopes on steep slopes or areas prone to soil erosion, ensuring long-term stability and safety.

[0032] (6) Economic and Environmental Benefits: Due to its efficient production and assembly process and low maintenance costs, the interlocking retaining wall device of this application demonstrates excellent cost control and provides better economic benefits. At the same time, its design takes into account the durability and recyclability of materials, helping to reduce environmental pollution and demonstrating good environmental benefits. This not only reduces the user's operating costs but also promotes sustainable development. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0049] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods; unless otherwise specified, the reagents and materials used in the following examples are commercially available.

[0050] The present invention will now be described in detail.

[0051] In one implementation, see Figures 1-6 The interlocking retaining wall device consists of a base plate 1, a lower wire mesh cage layer 2, a partition 3, an upper wire mesh cage layer 4, and an uppermost cover plate 5, arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The following description uses an example of placing a row of wire mesh cages perpendicular to the lower wire mesh cage layer 2 (X-direction) and another row of wire mesh cages perpendicular to the upper wire mesh cage layer 4 (X-direction).

[0052] In one embodiment, the interlocking retaining wall device consists of one or more layers of wire mesh cages arranged vertically.

[0053] In one embodiment, the cage has at least one space region defined by one or more mesh panels 7, the space region being used to accommodate filler.

[0054] The net cages involved in this application are not limited in geometry or specific specifications and can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of actual application scenarios. The net cages can generally take the form of cuboids, cubes, prisms, cylinders or near-cylindrical shapes (such as elliptical cylinders, i.e., cross-sections approximately circular, possibly slightly elliptical or polygonal), ellipsoids, or any irregular three-dimensional shape, designed to adapt to different physical spaces and functional requirements. The net cage is sufficient as long as it can effectively accommodate and fix the filler material. Furthermore, the size, proportions, and materials of the net cage can be adjusted accordingly based on different application environments. Additionally, the net cages described in this application are allowed to deform to a certain extent after accommodating the filler material. Regardless of the specific shape, all are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] In one embodiment, the cage is preferably cylindrical or near-cylindrical; more preferably, the cage is cylindrical or elliptical.

[0056] In one implementation, the shape and / or size of the cages used in the same cage layer can be the same or different, and the shape and / or size of the cages in different cage layers can be the same or different.

[0057] In one embodiment, for two adjacent cage layers, along the direction perpendicular to the cage layer (X direction), the maximum cross-sectional width of the upper cage layer is smaller than the maximum cross-sectional width of the lower cage layer.

[0058] The "cross section of the cage layer" mentioned in this application refers to the largest bounding rectangle of all cages in the same cage layer on the horizontal plane, that is, the smallest enclosing rectangle formed by the outermost vertices of all cages.

[0059] The height of the cage layer used in this application is consistent with the height of the tallest single cage in that layer, ensuring complete coverage of all cages in that layer.

[0060] The "maximum width of cross section" mentioned in this application refers to the maximum lateral dimension of the cage layer measured in the horizontal direction (Y-axis direction) on any vertical cross section (i.e., the cross section perpendicular to the Z-axis direction).

[0061] The "maximum length of cross section" mentioned in this application refers to the maximum longitudinal dimension of the cage layer measured along the vertical direction (X-axis direction) on any vertical cross section (i.e., the cross section perpendicular to the Z-axis direction).

[0062] In one implementation, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The maximum width of the cross-section of the lower mesh cage layer 2 is W. 下 This indicates that the maximum cross-sectional length of the lower wire mesh layer 2 is L. 下This indicates that the maximum cross-sectional width of the upper wire mesh layer 4 is W. 上 This indicates that the maximum cross-sectional length of the upper wire mesh layer 4 is L. 上 In one specific implementation, W 上 Less than or equal to W 下 Preferably W 上 Less than W 下 .

[0063] In one specific implementation, L 上 Less than or equal to L 下 In one specific implementation, W 上 Less than W 下 L 上 equal to L 下 In one specific implementation, W 上 equals W 下 L 上 Less than L 下 In one specific implementation, W 上 Less than W 下 L 上 Less than L 下 In one specific implementation, W 上 equals W 下 L 上 equal to L 下 .

[0064] In one embodiment, the cages in the upper cage layer 4 and the cages in the lower cage layer 2 are arranged alternately.

[0065] The "staggered arrangement" described in this application refers to the irregular and non-aligned distribution of cages in adjacent cage layers on the horizontal plane, connected by partial edge overlap (overlap length ≥ 5cm), rather than simple axis alignment (such as rectangular grid layout) or neat stacking. This method enhances the stability of the structure and the space utilization rate.

[0066] In one specific implementation, the cages in different cage layers are stacked in a pyramid shape.

[0067] In one implementation, when each cage layer contains multiple cages, ventilation gaps are left between the cages.

[0068] In one implementation, see Figures 1-3 There are ventilation gaps between the cages. Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram (with gaps) of an interlocking retaining wall device shown in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a front and rear side view (with gaps) of an interlocking retaining wall device shown in one embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a top view (with gaps) of an interlocking retaining wall device shown in one embodiment of this application.

[0069] In one implementation, see Figure 3 The following example illustrates the concept: Five wire mesh cages are placed in a row along the X-direction in the lower wire mesh cage layer 2, creating multiple gaps 22; four wire mesh cages are placed in a row along the X-direction in the upper wire mesh cage layer 4, creating multiple gaps 42. The gaps between wire mesh cages in the same layer can be the same size or different sizes.

[0070] In one specific implementation, see Figure 3 The cages in the lower cage layer 2 are cylindrical with uniform size, while the cages in the upper cage layer 4 are elliptical cylinders with uniform size. The diameter of the cross-section of the cylinder in cage layer 2 is also the maximum length l of the cage's cross-section. 下 The length l of the elliptical cylinder cross-section in layer 4 of the wire mesh cage is equal to the major axis of the cross-section, which is also the maximum length of the wire mesh cage cross-section. 上 The diameter of the cylindrical cross-section is also the maximum width W of the wire mesh layer cross-section. 下 The maximum width W of the wire mesh layer cross-section is greater than the minor axis of the elliptical cylinder cross-section. 上 The maximum cross-sectional length L of the wire mesh layer 2 下 The maximum length L of the cross-section of the wire mesh layer 4 is greater than the maximum length of the wire mesh layer 4. 上 .

[0071] In one embodiment, in two adjacent cage layers, the maximum gap 42 between two cages in the upper cage layer 4 is greater than or equal to the maximum gap 22 between two cages in the lower cage layer 2.

[0072] In one embodiment, the maximum gap between cages in the same layer is much smaller than the maximum cross-sectional length l of the cage in that layer. 上 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the gap 22 is much smaller than l. 下 The gap 42 is much smaller than l 上 .

[0073] The term "much smaller than" as used in this application means that the maximum cross-sectional length of the cage is related to the size of the gap, with the maximum gap length being 0.1 to 0.5 times the maximum cross-sectional length of the cage.

[0074] This application effectively regulates the airflow of the interlocking retaining wall device by controlling the shape, size, and spacing between the cages, thus ensuring both windproof performance and structural stability and practicality. By adjusting the size and shape of the cages, such as changing their arrangement and spacing, the resistance to airflow can be effectively adjusted, thereby controlling the wind speed and volume passing through the retaining wall.

[0075] Properly designing the gabions and the gaps between them not only helps reduce the direct impact of wind on the protected area, but also prevents structural deformation or damage caused by excessive wind pressure. For example, in high-wind-speed areas, reducing the gaps between gabions can enhance wind resistance; while in areas with lower wind speeds or where better visibility is required, increasing these gaps can improve visual transparency while maintaining necessary wind resistance.

[0076] In one implementation, when each cage layer contains multiple cages, there are no gaps between the cages.

[0077] In one implementation, see Figures 4-6 There are no gaps between the cages. Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram (without gaps) of an interlocking retaining wall device according to one embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a front and rear side view (without gaps) of an interlocking retaining wall device according to one embodiment of this application. Figure 6 This is a top view (without gaps) of an interlocking retaining wall device according to one embodiment of this application.

[0078] In one specific implementation, see Figure 6 The cages in the lower cage layer 2 are all elliptical cylinders of the same size, and the cages in the lower cage layer 4 are also all elliptical cylinders of the same size. The minor axis of the cross-section of the elliptical cylinder in cage layer 2 is the maximum length l of the cage cross-section. 下 The length l of the elliptical cylinder cross-section in layer 4 of the wire mesh cage is greater than the minor axis of the cross-section, which is the maximum length of the wire mesh cage cross-section. 上 The major axis of the cross-section of the elliptical cylinder in cage layer 2 is the maximum width W of the cage layer cross-section. 下 The maximum width W of the cross-section of the elliptical cylinder in layer 4 of the wire mesh cage is greater than the major axis of the cross-section of the wire mesh cage. 上 The maximum cross-sectional length L of the wire mesh layer 2 下 The maximum length L of the cross-section of the wire mesh layer 4 is greater than the maximum length of the wire mesh layer 4. 上 .

[0079] This application does not limit the shape of the cages. In a preferred embodiment, the lower cage is cylindrical and the upper cage is elliptical cylindrical. More preferably, both the lower and upper cages are elliptical cylindrical.

[0080] When cages come into contact, a larger contact area significantly improves structural stability. Therefore, the design prioritizes shapes that provide a large contact surface when they touch, such as elliptical cylinders, hexagonal cylinders, and trapezoidal cylinders. Elliptical cylinders achieve a wider contact area through their sides; hexagonal cylinders, when arranged horizontally, are closely adjacent with almost no gaps, maximizing the contact area; trapezoidal cylinders can increase the interlayer contact area through staggered stacking, enhancing the overall structural stability. These designs not only strengthen the connection between individual cages but also improve the overall structural stability and load-bearing capacity.

[0081] This application improves overall performance by optimizing the shape, specifications, and arrangement of the gabion cages. A proper spatial layout not only enhances the wind resistance of the retaining wall but also effectively stabilizes the sand and prevents dust from flying, making it particularly suitable for areas with frequent sandstorms. This design ensures the efficient operation and structural stability of the retaining wall in various environments, while providing a customized windbreak and sand-fixing solution.

[0082] By appropriately configuring the filling materials (such as stones, sandbags, etc.) within the cages, the retaining walls further enhance their sand-fixing function, protecting the surrounding environment and facilities from wind and sand damage. The overall design not only effectively resists wind damage but also achieves a good balance between aesthetics, practicality, and cost-effectiveness, making the interlocking retaining wall device of this application a multifunctional and efficient protective system suitable for various complex environments.

[0083] In one embodiment, the maximum length direction of the cross-section of each cage layer is set along the parallel direction (X direction) of the cage layer, and the maximum width direction of the cross-section is set along the perpendicular direction (Y direction) of the cage layer.

[0084] In one embodiment, the maximum length direction of the cross-section of each mesh cage layer is set along the length of the road (X direction), and the maximum width direction of the cross-section (Y direction) is set along the width of the road. The road described in this application can be a highway, railway, airport runway perimeter, bridge sides, or open-air parking lot, or other application sites requiring wind protection measures. This layout design not only ensures that the retaining wall provides maximum resistance surface when facing strong winds, thereby effectively reducing wind speed, blocking sandstorms, and protecting road safety, but also takes into account the characteristics and needs of different road structures.

[0085] In one embodiment, the cover plate 5 is a plane that is directly connected to each cage in the uppermost cage layer 4.

[0086] In one implementation, see Figure 7 The cover plate 5 has a bent portion 51, which has one or more protrusions parallel to the parallel direction (X direction) of the wire mesh layer.

[0087] In one embodiment, the protrusion of the bend 51 is formed by folding or stacking portions of the mesh upward to form a structure resembling a "mountain", pyramid or triangle, and the top of the protrusion can be sharp or gentle.

[0088] In one embodiment, the height and width of the protrusion of the bend 51 are proportional to the mesh size of the mesh, typically the height of one or more mesh openings.

[0089] The cover plate is positioned at the top of the interlocking retaining wall device. By incorporating a bend in the cover plate, its shape can be maintained more effectively. Specifically, arranging the bend protrusion along the X-direction not only enhances wind protection and prevents wind damage but also ensures the overall function of the interlocking retaining wall device is better utilized. This design makes the entire structure more stable when facing wind impacts, thus improving its protective performance.

[0090] In one specific implementation, see Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The mesh 7 has multiple bending structures 71 at its ends, and one or more meshes are connected by inserts 6 passing through the bending structures to form a cage.

[0091] This application does not limit the specific shape of the bending structure. The bending structure may be, but is not limited to, a 180-degree bend, a P-type structure, a fishhook shape, or any other construction form with similar function. Regardless of its specific form, as long as the bending structure can effectively accommodate the connector and achieve a stable fixing effect, it should be considered to fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, according to the needs of actual application scenarios, the design of the bending structure can be further adjusted and optimized to enhance its applicability and functionality.

[0092] The connectors used in this application can be S-shaped, L-shaped, or other similar shapes, as long as they can be inserted into the bent structure to serve a fixing and limiting function. There are no restrictions on the size of the connectors; other compatible sizes can be used. The connectors can be made of metals such as iron and copper, or lower-cost materials such as wood, bamboo, and plastic, as long as the materials have sufficient rigidity.

[0093] In one specific implementation, see Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, multiple bent structures 71 at both ends of a mesh 7 are staggered and aligned to form a through-hole insertion channel, and then the plug-in piece 6 is inserted to obtain a cylindrical or near-cylindrical mesh box 21.

[0094] The staggered alignment described in this application refers to the bending structure at one end of the mesh being tilted at a certain angle and overlapping with the bending structure at the other end. This design is not limited to a specific tilting or alignment method, as long as it ensures that a through-through channel for inserting reinforcing bars is formed between the bending structures at both ends of the mesh.

[0095] In a preferred embodiment, the bending structure at one end can be inclined towards the middle, towards both sides, or cross-inclined, so that the bending structures at both ends of the mesh interlock, rather than all being inclined to the same side. This effectively prevents the mesh from sliding freely on the reinforcing bars. This not only enhances the stability of the structure but also improves the overall robustness. In this way, the design goal of making the mesh more stable and less prone to slippage is achieved.

[0096] In one implementation, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The bottom of the wire mesh cage in the lower layer 2 is connected to the base plate 1. The base plate 1 is quadrilateral (such as a rectangle, square, or other similar shape), and the length of the base plate 1 is greater than or equal to the maximum cross-sectional length L of the wire mesh cage layer 2 below. 下 The width of the base plate 1 is greater than or equal to the maximum cross-sectional width W of the wire mesh layer 2 located below it. 下 .

[0097] In one implementation, the cage is connected to the base plate via a snap-fit ​​connector.

[0098] In one implementation, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 Each cage in the lower cage layer 2 and the upper cage layer 4, arranged vertically adjacent to each other, is connected to a partition 3. The partition 3 is quadrilateral (such as a rectangle, square, or other similar shape), and the length of the partition 3 is greater than or equal to the maximum cross-sectional length L of the lower cage layer 2. 下 The width of partition 3 is greater than or equal to the maximum cross-sectional width W of the wire mesh layer 2 located below. 下 .

[0099] In one implementation, the cage is connected to the partition via snap-fit ​​connectors.

[0100] In one implementation, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The cover plate 5 is connected to the top of each cage in the upper cage layer 4. The cover plate 5 is quadrilateral (such as a rectangle, square or other similar shape), and the length of the cover plate 5 is greater than or equal to the maximum cross-sectional length L of the upper cage layer 4. 上 The width of the cover plate 5 is greater than or equal to the maximum cross-sectional width W of the wire mesh layer 4 located above it. 上 .

[0101] In one implementation, the cage is connected to the cover plate via a snap-fit ​​connector.

[0102] The snap-fit ​​components involved in this application can be clips, binding wires, or other components that can serve a fixing function. There are no restrictions on the number or material of the snap-fit ​​components, as long as they can serve a fixing function.

[0103] The mesh, base plate, partitions, and separators involved in this application are made of metal wire (such as galvanized steel wire, but the material is not limited to metal wire, as long as it can form a mesh support structure) through special machines by weaving or welding, forming a number of mesh structures in the form of rectangles, squares, circles, rhombuses, hexagons, etc. This application does not limit the wire diameter, material, twisting / connection method, or shape and size of the mesh, which can be determined according to the material of the mesh cage filling and the application scenario. There is no particular limitation on the wire diameter, for example, it can be 2.0mm to 8.0mm, preferably 2.6mm to 5.0mm.

[0104] The mesh described in this application has mesh openings; the size of the mesh openings can be used as a measuring scale; this design makes the installation of the interlocking retaining wall device more standardized.

[0105] The mesh, cage, bottom plate, partition, and partition involved in this application may also include an inner lining layer when in use. The inner lining layer mentioned in this application can be a lining cloth, geotextile, or other related materials, as long as it serves to prevent small fillers from leaking out of the cage and ensures that even when filled with small granular materials (such as sand and small stones), it can maintain stability and effective isolation.

[0106] Specifically, the mesh can be lined with an inner layer to block fine particles from passing through the mesh openings; the bottom plate with an inner layer prevents the filler from leaking out from the bottom, enhancing the overall stability of the structure; the middle partition with an inner layer helps maintain the independence between each layer, preventing the filler from mixing between different layers; and the inner layer of the top cover ensures that the top layer of filler is not blown away or leaked by the wind. This design not only improves the windproof and sand-fixing effect of the retaining wall device but also increases its flexibility, allowing it to adapt to different filler types, thus meeting the needs of various application scenarios. Furthermore, the choice of inner layer can be adjusted according to specific engineering requirements and environmental conditions to achieve the best protective effect and cost-effectiveness.

[0107] The inner lining layer can be connected to the wire mesh, wire cage, base plate, partition and / or cover plate by means of sewing, binding, welding, riveting, embedding, mechanical fixing, adhesive or snap-fit, etc. This application does not limit the specific connection method of the inner lining layer, as long as it can ensure that the inner lining layer is firmly fixed to the relevant structure.

[0108] In one specific implementation method, the operation is as follows:

[0109] 1. Construction preparation and ground treatment: Bend the metal mesh (including the lining) with the bending structure into cylindrical or elliptical columns with a diameter of 800-1200 mm; align the bending structure in an alternating manner, and then insert metal reinforcing bars with a diameter of 3.5-4.5 mm to complete the assembly of the wire mesh cage.

[0110] First, lay out the ground lines and level the designated construction area. Ensure the construction surface is level and free of obvious protrusions or depressions to guarantee the stability of the subsequent structure.

[0111] 2. Laying the base plate: Lay the base plate 1 with a lining on the leveled construction site. The mesh size of the base plate is 100×100 mm, and the width of the base plate should match the width of the gabion layer 2 below. This step requires precise measurement to ensure a seamless connection between the base plate 1 and the gabion layer 2.

[0112] 3. Install the lower layer 2 of the wire mesh cages: Using the mesh openings on the base plate 1 as a guide, install 5 wire mesh cages, maintaining a 200 mm gap between each cage. Securely fasten the cages to the base plate 1 using clips to ensure structural stability.

[0113] 4. Partition Installation: After completing the installation of cage layer 2, install partition 3, which also has a mesh size of 100×100 mm. Using the same method, partition 3 should be connected to the top of each cage in cage layer 2 via clips, maintaining a 200 mm gap between each cage.

[0114] 5. Filling material: For the installed gabion layers (including those below and subsequent layers), use sand with a diameter not exceeding 80 mm for filling. When filling, place the material slowly to avoid impacting the gabion and causing deformation.

[0115] 6. Install the upper gabion layer and top cover: Repeat the above steps to install gabion layer 4, and install the top cover 5 with a bend that increases support strength along the length of the retaining wall. All components must be accurately positioned according to the mesh size and secured with clips.

[0116] 7. Final Infilling and External Treatment: After the installation of all cage layers is completed, a final inspection is conducted, and necessary infilling is carried out. Finally, at the outer corner of the bottom of the retaining wall, soil with a 1:1 slope and a height of 300 mm is filled to enhance the overall stability and protective effect of the retaining wall.

[0117] in addition, Figures 1-9 The dimensions shown (in millimeters) are merely examples and not representative.
