Abstract

A retaining wall (10) having a height of greater than ten feet which includes a lower section of inextensible reinforcements (28a-e) and an upper section of extensible reinforcements (32-h). By the use of inextensible reinforcements in place of extensible reinforcements in a lower portion of a wall having a height greater than ten feet, the lower portion of the wall will tend to distribute the stresses of soil compaction and require less quality control assurance during construction. Further, by the use of extensible reinforcements in the upper section of a retaining wall having a height greater than ten feet, the extensible reinforcements will maintain the retaining wall in place and have significantly improved corrosion resistance over inextensible metal reinforcements.
