Gabions – Design of Retaining Walls

At the conclusion of this course you will: understand The forces that act on a gabion retaining wall and how to compute these forces How a gabion wall resists the forces that tend to overturn the wall and how to compute these overturning forces How a gabion wall resists the forces that tend to make the wall slide and how to compute these sliding forces The appropriate factors of safety for gabion walls How wire mesh placed in the fill behind the wall can increase the ability of the wall to resist overturning and sliding forces
