Definitions

  • Modular earth retaining walls are commonly used for architectural and site development applications. Such walls are subjected to very high pressures exerted by lateral movements of the soil, temperature and shrinkage effects, and seismic loads.
  • a retaining wall block including of a front face portion, a web portion and a rear portion is known from PCT application WO 2007/117250 A1 .
  • Aligning elements are arranged on the rear portion and on the web portion, extending onto the front face portion.
  • the aligning elements on the rear portion on the one hand and the web portion and the front face portion on the other hand can be connected into a single aligning element.
  • a front surface of the foremost aligning element aligns with a rear surface of the front face portion of the retaining wall block or retaining wall blocks stacked underneath so as to lock the blocks against being shifted against each other due to the pressure of a material held behind the resulting retaining wall. Since the aligning element extends from the web portion onto the front face portion, each subsequent course of retaining wall blocks is set back by the amount of this extension with respect to the course of retaining wall blocks immediately below.
  • a retaining wall block including a front face portion, a web portion and a rear panel portion is known from US patent application US 2006/0179780 A1 .
  • On the bottom surface of the retaining wall block there are two aligning elements, one on the front face portion and one on the rear panel portion. In a stacked configuration the front sides of the aligning elements rest against the rear side of the front face portion or the rear panel portion, respectively, of the retaining wall block or retaining wall blocks in the course below, creating a retaining wall with each subsequent course set back with respect to the course below.
  • a retaining wall block without aligning elements is fixed in position with respect to a retaining wall block or retaining wall blocks in a course immediately below by means of a clip.
  • the clips basically h-shaped or H-shaped, are elements separate from the retaining wall block.
  • Modular or segmental earth retaining walls commonly comprise courses or tiers of modular units or blocks.
  • the blocks are typically made of concrete.
  • the blocks are typically dry-stacked ( i.e., no mortar or grout is used), and often include one or more features adapted to properly locate adjacent blocks and/or courses with respect to one another, and to provide resistance to shear forces from course to course.
  • Modular retaining walls commonly are used for architectural and site development applications. Such walls are subjected to high loads exerted by the soil behind the walls. These loads are affected by, among other things, the character of the soil, the presence of water, surcharge loads, and seismic loads.
  • modular retaining wall systems often comprise one or more layers of soil reinforcement material extending behind the tiers of blocks back into the soil behind the blocks.
  • the modular blocks can include blocks of different sizes, shapes, and orientations.
  • FIGS. 1A-1E shown is an exemplary embodiment of a modular block 100 including a horizontally oriented rectangular front face portion 103 including a front surface 106, a rear surface 109, a top surface 113, and a bottom surface 116.
  • Other embodiments can include, but are not limited to, vertically oriented rectangular front face portions and/or front face portions of different dimensions.
  • the front face portion 103 may include a front surface 106 that is sculptured or textured as illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1C .
  • the front surface 106 may have a straight 100, convex 1210, or concave 1220 profile as illustrated in FIGS. 12A-12C , respectively.
  • a filler 1206, 1209, 1212 is included in the mold to provide the desired shape.
  • a mold liner 1203 is used to produce the desired texture of the front face portion 103.
  • the front face portion 103 of modular block 100 has a height of about 46 cm (18 inches), a width of about 122 cm (48 inches), and a thickness of about 10.2 cm (4 inches).
  • the front face portion 103 of modular block 100 may have a height of about 76 cm (30 inches), a width of about 190 cm (75 inches), and a thickness of about 12.7 cm (5 inches).
  • FIG. 1 may depict front face portions 103 with front face portions 103 with other dimensional combinations (height x width) such as, but not limited to, about 46 cm (18 inches) by about 61 cm (24 inches), about 46 cm (18 inches) by about 122 cm (48 inches), about 91 cm (36 inches) by about 61 cm (24 inches), and about 91 cm (36 inches) by about 229 cm (90 inches).
