Retaining Walls

img4-238Retaining Walls
The two most common retaining wall structures built today are simple gravity walls and larger composite reinforced soil wall structures. Lafayette Masonry offers products and specific design methodology for both structure types conforming to local building codes and national standards.

  • Gravity Walls
  • One of the most basic types of retaining walls, the gravity wall, relies on its mass and cross-sectional geometry to resist the earth pressure that is exerting force to move the structure in a lateral direction.
  • Reinforced Soil Walls
    For taller or more critical walls, the individual units are combined with soil reinforcement options (such as extensible geogrids, geotextiles, inextensible tie-back anchors, or galvanized steel ladder reinforcing) to create larger composite structures.
