Ecology block walls

[msquared48]

Any links available as to how to design ecology block walls with geogrid ties to the backfill? Any information on the tensile capacity of the geogrid with respect to soil embedment and depth of fill?

Client insists on using them.

Mike,

Have a geotech design the wall (or those portions requiring analysis - typically having to do with external stability and the soil-geogrid interaction).

Otherwise, the wall supplier should have info available for design purposes.
