Repairing Crumbling and Failing Retaining Walls
what is a Retaining Wall?
Retaining walls serve to retain the lateral pressure of soil. More simply, retaining walls are used to hold back soil and substrate from moving due to the effects of gravity and erosion. Retaining walls are typically designed out of concrete, stone, wood (including railroad ties), vinyl, masonry, steel, or brick.
Signs Of A Failing Retaining Wall
Collapsing/Tilting Retaining Walls
Collapsing/Tilting Retaining Walls
Soil issues and/or poor construction are often the culprits for retaining walls that are tilting. This can happen if the footing toe is too small or if the wall wasn’t properly reinforced. Railroad tie retaining walls can begin to collapse due to wood rot or deterioration.
Most retaining walls require drainage “weeps”. If water accumulates behind the wall, this additional weight can cause clay soils to expand, leading to cracks and tilting.
Retaining Walls Separating From Adjacent Walls
Retaining Walls Separating From Adjacent Walls
ike collapsing/tilting retaining walls, walls that are separating from adjacent walls are often caused by poor quality construction.
A separating retaining wall may not have been designed to withstand the weight that actually bears on the wall. Poor drainage and inadequate reinforcement or connection to the adjacent wall are other possible causes. In unusual cases, expansive soils may also cause a retaining wall to separate from an adjoining wall.
Crumbling/Failing Retaining Walls
Crumbling/Failing Retaining Walls
Retaining walls can crumble for a wide variety of reasons, most related to the improper design of the walls itself.
Often, the wall was not designed to bear the weight load behind it. In the case of concrete retaining walls, the issue may be inadequate, weak, or poorly mixed concrete.
Concrete retaining walls may also have been designed with inadequate steel rebar, resulting in insufficient strength.
