Ecology Block Walls
Ecology Block Walls
(OP)
Anyone have any good links for the design of ecology block walls?
What I am looking for is a good force diagram and details with recommended batters, embedments, drainage, any tricky considerations.
I remember in years past I tried to justify their use, but could never make them work for higher walls. The wall my client is looking to build is in the order of 10 to 12 feet, and I am nervous with these walls. I am wondering if I am looking at soil reinforcing here too at that height of wall.
The client just insists using them. Oh well...![[bigears] bigears](https://www.tipmaster.com/images/bigears.gif)
Thanks in advance.
