ABSTRACT:
A method of making walls which comprises assembling a series of rings in the form of short tubes one above the other. The rings are interlinked one with the other so that a wall is constructed which is capable of resisting overturning forces applied normally to the height of the wall. The rings are arranged so that adjacent rings in a row are closely adjacent to or touch each other and rings in adjacent rows are stretcher bonded so that the contact points between rings in one row and rings in the next row are on any selected ring on radial lines separated by an approximately 60.degree. arc of the face of that ring exposed to view when looking at a retaining wall and the unexposed face of the ring is pressed against soil retained by the retain wall. The cavities within and between the rings may be filled with suitable material such as crushed rock.
