ABSTRACT:
The embankment stabilizing brick, in plan view, is of an L-shaped configuration. Formed on the free end of the short-ended leg (12 ) is a stub tongue (14) extending in the direction of the long-ended leg. The length of the stub tongue corresponds at least to about half the width of the long-ended leg (10) but amounts only to a fraction of the length thereof. Provided on the upper and lower sides are depressions (16, 18) serving for mutually keying superposed embankment stabilizing bricks. The weight of the new brick corresponds to almost half the weight of conventional embankment stabilizing bricks; however, owing to the stub tongue (14) it can be stably stored superposed in various positions.
