MASONIC BLOCKS FOR REINFORCED EARTH RETAINING WALLS AND METHODS FOR CONSTRUCTING REINFORCED EARTH RETAINING WALLS

Abstract

The invention relates to masonry blocks for reinforced retaining walls and a method for constructing reinforced retaining walls. The width (W) on the left / right side of the masonry (B) is from 50 cm to 130 cm, the height (H) in the up / down direction of the masonry (B) is from 37.5 cm to 40±1 cm, and the depth (D) of the masonry (B) is from 37.5 cm to 60 cm. Strip reinforcement material (100) is installed for each layer of stacked masonry blocks in the up / down direction so that the vertical installation distance of the strip reinforcement material (100) is from 37.5 cm to 40±1 cm, which is equal to the height (H) in the up / down direction of the masonry (B), or is installed for every two layers so that the vertical installation distance of the strip reinforcement material (100) is from 75 cm to 80±1 cm, which is double the height (H) in the up / down direction of the masonry (B).The solution described in the invention is capable of optimizing the left / right width and upward / downward height of the masonry, thereby optimizing the vertical installation distance of the strip reinforcement material, reducing the required length of the strip reinforcement material, reducing the labor required for installation, increasing the stacking speed of the masonry and the filling speed of the backfill material, thereby improving construction feasibility and economic viability by minimizing equipment operating losses, and enhancing the safety of the retaining wall.
