Hydrology Retaining Wall Failure - Bridge Inspection Abutment Issues
[ Ссылка ] | Civil Engineering | Backed by civil engineers, marine contractors, project managers, government and state officials. A lack of erosion control that causes sinkholes is a vital issue among a retaining wall design. One common problem is wall movement in addition to tieback/whaler tension, toe failure, horizontal cracking, panel separation and stress. For retaining walls such as steel sheet piling, vinyl sheet piling, bridge abutments, concrete seawalls or any other earth retaining structures.
The standard JET Filter System comes equipped with the highly rated TenCate Mirafi FW 300 series. This proven application provides long-term flow rates in dynamic and high gradient conditions. To ensure proper drainage relief, one of the key components to our JET Filter System is a removable inner filter cartridge that can be replaced or cleaned when needed. This simple step can be accomplished from the front side of the retaining wall structure without removing material behind the wall to replace the erosion control fabric.
The JET Filter System also prevents retaining wall failure by relieving water pressure by allowing proper drainage while saving time plus money on avoidable extensive repairs.
The life expectancy of a retaining wall can be increased simply by adding sufficient drainage. Dry soil may provide little stress on a retainer wall, however heavy soil without proper retaining wall drainage may cause the wall to buckle or lean. This could mean extensive and expensive repairs will be required. No drainage system can handle a total flood, but a properly installed "retaining wall drainage" system can prevent most water damage.
To keep retaining walls from leaning or cracking from hydrostatic water pressure, it is important to install the Jet Filter System to release this pressure.
Proper maintenance and inspections can also avoid major disasters. Water without drainage may weaken retaining walls by eroding the material that supports the wall. Furthermore, poor drainage may cause considerable challenges by settling behind the wall and saturating the soil with incredible pressure. Well-built retaining walls are constructed to prevent water from getting behind the wall and our Jet Filter System is designed to provide a speedy exit route for water that inevitably finds its way in.
Are your retaining wall structures failing because of clogged drainage or perhaps insufficient weep holes? Retaining walls such as vinyl sheet piling, steel sheet piling, concrete seawalls, wing walls and bridge abutments are a concern today and may require immediate inspection or replacement.
