SRW Maximum height record on one single tier

SRW Maximum height record on one single tier

SRW Maximum height record on one single tier

(OP)
We have done a one tier near vertical wall, 65 feet height and will like to know if any of you know of a higher segmental retaining wall.  This was done with KeySystem units and steel reinforcements and is located in Puerto Rico. Work was completed on February 2002.
Please let me know your experience.

RE: SRW Maximum height record on one single tier

I think I remember hearing of one over 100', maybe 125', in Hong Kong, maybe elsewhere in SE Asia, at least a year ago. It could have been facing a rock cut/slide area, so not subject to same loading and design conditions as typical SRW. Nonetheless, photos were impressive.

RE: SRW Maximum height record on one single tier

Stresswall did a wall in the US about 10 years ago that was in the 100 to 125 foot range.

RE: SRW Maximum height record on one single tier

JDMM,

I'm curious as to which SRW system was used for this project and where it was built.  That's a monster of a wall!  Do you know what kind of reinforcment was used?

RE: SRW Maximum height record on one single tier

We use Keystone and KeySystem and build up to 65' walls using steel ladders reinforcement.
