Blocco in cemento per muri di contenimento RE/TENSION™
Reinforced Earth Company
RE/Tension™ is a precast counterfort retaining wall system consisting of integral hollow box attached to the backside of standard MSE concrete facing panels stacked on a continuous, cast-in-place, reinforced concrete footing. The attached box serves as a form for a cast-in-place concrete column of which flexural rebar is carried and connected to the cast-in-place footing. The counterfort acts as an equivalent cantilever beam, which transfers horizontal earth pressures from the precast facing system to the concrete foundation. Depending on wall height and loading conditions a reinforced concrete footing may not be necessary and the box may be filled with select backfill material in lieu of concrete.
