ABSTRACT:
An earth retaining wall system is defined by a rectilinear three-dimensional matrix of tie elements, each substantially uniplanar in a horizontal plane and longitudinally elongated in a direction transverse to the retaining wall. Such tie elements are each complementally rigidly coupled along one horizontal axis edge of an earth supporting side of the retaining wall. The tie element thusly defines a matrix or grid in a vertical plane. The system also includes a plurality of pressure resistive members that are substantially uniplanar in a vertical plane which is also co-planar with the retaining wall. Such pressure resistive members are longitudinally elongated along a horizontal axis which is co-parallel with the retaining wall. Each of the pressure resistive members are rigidly secured along a bottom edge thereof to an upper surface of each tie element to define, in cross-section, a matrix in a vertical plane which is also normal to the retaining wall.
