ABSTRACT:
A face panel system for forming an exposed face on a fill structure employs a succession of precast reinforced concrete panels which act first as a restraining form and then as a permanent exposed face for the structure. In one embodiment, successively higher rows of panels are supported by strongbacks mounted to a lower row of panels and extending upward therefrom to act as temporary cantilevered supports for the next higher row. In this manner, horizontal forces exerted by the fill mass are transferred back to the mass. Another embodiment features an internal cantilever support structure embedded in the panels, which are coupled together with brackets extending therefrom.
