ABSTRACT:
A retaining wall formed of rhombus-shaped panels which, when stacked, form continuous joint lines at approximately 30.degree. to the horizontal. The panels are internally reinforced and include centrally located, embedded, projecting connectors interlocked to earth embedded soil reinforcing mats selectively mounting resistance enhancing friction blocks. The panels are formed with truncated angles to define, upon assembly, permanent weep holes.
