ABSTRACT:
A retaining wall system and method for stabilizing earthen walls. The system comprises a wall panels assembled together to form a reinforcing wall assembly and anchor mesh connected to the wall panels and buried within the earthen wall. The wall panels engage the face of the earthen wall, and the anchor mesh inhibits lateral movement of the reinforcing wall assembly. The panels are connected to the anchor mesh by locking pins that extend through loop portions of the anchor mesh and engage a front face of the wall panels. Anchor bars are connected to the loop portions of the anchor mesh; these anchor bars engage a back face of the wall panels to control and limit the movement of the wall panels relative to the anchor mesh as earth is back-filled against the wall panels. When the wall panels are concrete, a void network is formed in the panels to receive the anchor mesh loop portions and the locking pins. Pin windows may be formed in concrete wall panels to facilitate insertion of the locking pins.
