Frequently Asked Questions

When building gravity walls with terraces, what is the recommended distance between the terrace walls where the upper wall does not affect the loading condition of the lower wall?

The distances between terraces (face of wall to face of wall) should be greater than or equal to two times the lower wall height. Typically this can also work for lower height soil reinforced walls. With higher reinforced walls build on a slope, the issue of global stability must be considered by a qualified engineer in analysing the terrace situation.
