ABSTRACT:
A segmental, anchored, vertical, precast, retaining wall system includes an array of wall panels which can be assembled edge to edge to form a multi-tiered structure. The wall panels are formed with vertical tee stems having bearing surfaces for interlocking wall panels on different tiers and for distributing earth loads between the tiers. Tie rods attached to the tee stems connect the wall panels to precast anchor blocks embedded in the backfill at different vertical levels. The tie rods are protected from corrosion by a sealed tie rod sleeve. The tie rod sleeve is displaced relative to the tie rods during vertical settlement of the backfill to prevent stresses in the tie rod. The retaining wall is self supporting during assembly and can be assembled on a cast-in-place foundation beam without the requirement of additional bracing.
