Masonry structure and method for the anchoring of wall structures

摘要

A method for retaining a wall structure, said method comprising the steps of: providing a wall-retaining element including a three-dimensional anchoring body comprising a base portion having a bottom surface positioned in parallel with the ground and a top surface, an upper portion extending upwardly from said base portion and an attaching point in said upper portion being elevated above said bottom and top surfaces; positioning said element at a distance from the wall structure to be retained; connecting a portion of wall structure to said attaching point by means of a tie rod or cable; and covering the top surface of said base portion with a backfill material to compensate for a tensioning force occurring in said tie rod or cable that would otherwise tend to tilt said base portion toward the wall structure, thereby retaining said wall structure. 957 כ" ד בסיון התשס" ג - June 24, 2003
