ABSTRACT:
A retaining wall block is provided which comprises a forward, face portion and a tail portion spaced rearwardly of said face portion and extending generally parallel thereto, said face portion and said tail portion being connected by a central web. A downwardly depending abutment member is formed on the bottom of said face portion to serve as a spacing mechanism for offsetting successive courses of block, thereby imparting a uniform backslope to the retaining wall. The block is designed in such a fashion that portions of the spacing mechanism may be easily removed or modified so as to permit different angles of backslope.
