Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction, and in particular to a retaining wall structure. Background Technology
[0002] A retaining wall is a structure that supports the fill or slope soil of a roadbed and prevents the fill or soil from deforming and becoming unstable. Retaining walls serve to support the edges of roadbed slopes, protecting nearby buildings and reducing erosion and washout by water. They are commonly installed as attachments to embankments, dams, bridges, and other structures.
[0003] However, when the slope height of the retaining wall is relatively high, such as greater than 3m, the common retaining walls are mostly made of concrete. If only a thin-walled structure is used, its strength is often insufficient to meet the requirements, resulting in low reliability. On the other hand, if a thick structure is used, a huge space is required for its installation, and the cost is high. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a retaining wall structure that can solve one or more of the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a retaining wall structure is provided, comprising a retaining wall body, side supports, and a bottom connecting block.
[0006] The retaining wall body includes a base, a vertical wall, and reinforcing ribs. The bottom of the vertical wall is connected to the base, dividing the base into long and short sections. The reinforcing ribs have inclined portions and right-angle portions. One side of the right-angle portion matches and connects to the long section, and the other side of the right-angle portion matches and connects to the vertical wall.
[0007] One side of the side support is connected to one side of the top of the vertical wall.
[0008] The bottom connecting block is connected to the bottom of the base, and the bottom connecting block is located directly below the connection between the vertical wall and the base.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The retaining wall body is reinforced with ribs, effectively improving its strength. It also features a bottom connecting block, which increases the thickness of the connection between the vertical wall and the base, enhancing its bearing capacity. Furthermore, it increases the contact area between the utility model and the ground during installation. Short sections further increase this contact area, ensuring reliable installation on the ground. In summary, this utility model provides reliable soil retention and is well-suited for slopes greater than 3 meters in height. Additionally, side supports act as a buffer between the slope and the retaining wall body, allowing for a buffer between the slope and the retaining wall. Even with slight deformation or movement of the slope, the utility model remains effective in retaining soil.
[0010] In some embodiments, the base includes a first concrete block and a first reinforcing bar, with the first concrete block enclosing the first reinforcing bar. The presence of the first reinforcing bar effectively increases the strength of the first concrete block, thereby ensuring the strength of the base.
[0011] In some embodiments, the vertical wall includes a second concrete block and a second reinforcing bar, with the second concrete block encasing the second reinforcing bar and the second reinforcing bar extending into the first concrete block. The inclusion of the second reinforcing bar effectively increases the strength of the second concrete block, thereby ensuring the strength of the vertical wall, and the extension of the second reinforcing bar into the first concrete block effectively increases the connection strength between the vertical wall and the base.
[0012] In some embodiments, the reinforcing rib includes a third concrete block, transverse reinforcing bars, and longitudinal reinforcing bars. The third concrete block is wrapped around the transverse and longitudinal reinforcing bars. The transverse reinforcing bars extend into a second concrete block, and the longitudinal reinforcing bars extend into a first concrete block. The presence of transverse and longitudinal reinforcing bars effectively increases the strength of the third concrete block, thus ensuring the strength of the reinforcing rib. Furthermore, the extension of the transverse reinforcing bars into the second concrete block and the extension of the longitudinal reinforcing bars into the first concrete block effectively improves the connection strength between the reinforcing rib and the base and the vertical wall.
[0013] In some embodiments, the bottom connecting block includes a fourth concrete block and a third reinforcing bar, with the fourth concrete block encased in the third reinforcing bar, which extends into the first concrete block. The presence of the third reinforcing bar effectively increases the strength of the fourth concrete block, thus ensuring the strength of the bottom connecting block. Furthermore, the extension of the third reinforcing bar into the first concrete block effectively enhances the connection strength between the bottom connecting block and the base.
[0014] In some embodiments, the side support has a thickness of 250 mm and a length of 500 mm.
[0015] In some embodiments, the short segment has a length of 750 mm, the long segment has a length of 4500 mm, and both the short and long segments have a thickness of 550 mm.
[0016] In some embodiments, there are multiple reinforcing ribs arranged in parallel, with a spacing of 3500 mm between adjacent reinforcing ribs. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present invention provides a retaining wall structure, comprising a retaining wall body 1, side supports 2, and bottom connecting blocks 3.
[0024] The main body of the retaining wall 1 includes a base 11, a vertical wall 12, and reinforcing bars 13.
[0025] The base 11 includes a first concrete block 111 and a first reinforcing bar 112, with the first concrete block 111 enclosing the first reinforcing bar 112.
[0026] The vertical wall 12 includes a second concrete block 121 and a second reinforcing bar 122. The second concrete block 121 is wrapped around the second reinforcing bar 122. The bottom of the second concrete block 121 is integrally formed and connected to the first concrete block 111, thus connecting the base 11 and the vertical wall 12. One end of the second reinforcing bar 122 extends into the first concrete block 111, so that one end of the second reinforcing bar 122 is also wrapped by the first concrete block 111, thereby improving the connection reliability between the base 11 and the vertical wall 12. In this embodiment, the height of the vertical wall 12 is preferably 6950mm, and the thickness of the vertical wall 12 is preferably 500mm.
[0027] The connected vertical wall 12 divides the base 11 into a long segment 101 and a short segment 102. The long segment 101 is longer than the short segment 102. In this embodiment, the length of the short segment 102 is preferably 750 mm, the length of the long segment 101 is preferably 4500 mm, and the thickness of both the short segment 102 and the long segment 101 is preferably 550 mm.
[0028] The reinforcing rib 13 includes a third concrete block 131, transverse reinforcing bars 132, and longitudinal reinforcing bars 133. The third concrete block 131 has an inclined portion and a right-angled portion. The length of one side of the right-angled portion matches the length of the long segment 101, and this side of the right-angled portion is integrally formed and connected to the long segment 101. The length of the other side of the right-angled portion matches the height of the vertical wall 12, and this side of the right-angled portion is integrally formed and connected to the vertical wall 12. This ensures that the reinforcing rib 13 is connected to both the base 11 and the vertical wall 12.
[0029] In addition, there can be multiple reinforcing ribs 13. In this embodiment, two reinforcing ribs 13 are preferred. The two reinforcing ribs 13 are arranged in parallel, and the distance between adjacent reinforcing ribs is 3500mm.
[0030] The third concrete block 131 is wrapped around the transverse reinforcing bar 132 and the longitudinal reinforcing bar 133, and one end of the transverse reinforcing bar 132 extends into the second concrete block 121, that is, one end of the transverse reinforcing bar 132 is wrapped by the second concrete block 121. One end of the longitudinal reinforcing bar 133 extends into the first concrete block 111, that is, one end of the longitudinal reinforcing bar 133 is wrapped by the first concrete block 111. This effectively improves the reliability of the connection between the reinforcing bar 13 and the base 11 and the vertical wall 12.
[0031] The bottom connecting block 3 includes a fourth concrete block 31 and a third reinforcing bar 32. The fourth concrete block 31 is integrally formed and connected to the bottom of the base 11, and the fourth concrete block 31 is wrapped around the third reinforcing bar 32. One end of the third reinforcing bar 32 extends into the first concrete block 111, so that the first concrete block 111 wraps around that end of the third reinforcing bar 32.
[0032] The bottom connecting block 3 is positioned directly below the connection between the vertical wall 12 and the base 11, thereby increasing the thickness of the connection between the vertical wall 12 and the base 11 and improving the connection strength between them.
[0033] The side support 2 is preferably made of concrete, and one side of the side support 2 is integrally formed and connected to the top side of the vertical wall 12, and the side support 2 is located above the long section 101. In this embodiment, the thickness of the side support 2 is preferably 250 mm, and the length of the side support 2 is preferably 500 mm.
[0034] When this retaining wall structure is installed, the base 11 and the bottom connecting block 3 can be buried in the soil, while the other side of the side support 2 can be connected to the slope that needs to be retained. At this time, the main body of the retaining wall 1 can effectively play the role of retaining soil.
[0035] In this invention, the retaining wall body 1 is equipped with reinforcing ribs 13, which effectively improves the strength of the retaining wall body 1. It also includes a bottom connecting block 3, which increases the thickness of the connection between the vertical wall 12 and the base 11, improving the bearing capacity of the connection. Furthermore, the bottom connecting block 3 increases the contact area between the invention and the soil during installation. Additionally, the invention includes a short section 102 to further increase the contact area with the soil, thus ensuring the reliability of the invention's installation on the land. In summary, this invention provides reliable soil retention and is better suited for use on slopes with a height greater than 3 meters.
[0036] In addition, this utility model is also provided with a side support 2 as a gap between the slope to be set, so that a certain buffer can be left between the slope 2 and the retaining wall body 1. Even if the slope is slightly deformed and moved, this utility model can still effectively play the role of retaining soil.
[0037] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
