Reinforced concrete retaining wall on reinforced soil
(precast units) Vivalp
RENFOTER® MODULE
Process RENFOTER MODULE® allows the realization of retaining walls in solid mass reinforced reinforced concrete facing.
It concerns the technique of the reinforcement of the grounds by not very extensible and flexible reinforcements (Standards NF P 94220-0 and 2) and of the recommendations and code of practice "the works out of reinforced earth".
The wall in reinforced ground is consisted of association:
- of a facing of modules prefabricated out of reinforced concrete any height or superposable,
- of a solid mass of fill set up by layers,
- reinforcements connected to the facing and narrowly overlapping in the embankment.
The facing is made of juxtaposed and superimposed rectangular modules.
The heights of the modules are adapted to the project.
The aspect of the facing is studied with the request: gray concrete smoothes, brushed, sanded, stamped concrete (standard matrix hones, rock,...), tinted concrete and other architectural treatments.
The reinforcements are out of hot galvanized steel fabrics, of form and size adapted to each project.
Fields of application: current retaining walls, carrying abutments, walls out of cut, walls staged.
Advantages:
- Adaptability with the poor subgrades thanks to the flexibility of its facing,
- Increased Security: the modules out of reinforced concrete and are ribbed
- Speed of implementation
- Economy: simplicity of implementation, current filling material, in the respect of the Recommendations of Setra.
