MECHANICALLY STABILIZED RETAINING WALL SYSTEM HAVING ADJUSTABLE CONNECTION MEANS FOR CONNECTING PRECAST CONCRETE FACING PANELS THERETO

摘要

A retained earth structure (110) comprises an upright soil retaining wall of interlocking facing panels (112) and a plurality of horizontal elongated wir e mesh reinforcement panels (114) extending outwardly from the back surface of the modules into the backfill material. The wire mesh panels (114) are connected in tiers to the retaining wall while embedded in the backfill material soil behind the wall by use of a three-way adjustable, turnbuckle- type connector assembly (200). The three-way adjustable turnbuckle-type connector assembly (200) ensures verticality of the finished precast wall panels (112).
