I believe everyone has heard of the difference between river slope protection bricks and retaining walls. Let's take a look together.
1、 Different properties
1. River slope protection bricks are used for various paving and planting on slopes to prevent them from being washed away.
2. A retaining wall refers to a structure that supports roadbed fill or hillside soil and prevents deformation and instability of the fill or soil.
2、 Especially different
1. The slope protection forms of river slope protection bricks include direct slope protection and indirect slope protection. Direct protection refers to directly reinforcing the bank slope to resist the erosion and washing of water flow. Commonly used types include throwing stones, dry rubble stones, mortar rubble stones, gabions, and pointed bundles. Indirect protection is suitable for river sections with wide riverbeds or long protection lengths, and can be constructed with spur dikes, parallel dams, and lattice dams to carry water away from the riverbank.
On the cross-section of a retaining wall, the part opposite the back of the wall and facing the air is called the wall surface. The part in direct contact with the foundation is called the basement. The top surface of the wall opposite to the bottom is called the top of the wall. The front end of the base is called the foot of the wall. The rear end of the base is called the wall heel.
3、 Different functions
1. River slope protection bricks are a type of anti weathering and anti erosion slope protection project that does not withstand lateral soil pressure, such as shotcrete slope protection, lattice vegetation slope protection, vegetation slope protection, etc. Only applicable to gentle, stable, and non sliding slopes.
2. Retaining walls, also known as shoulder walls or embankment walls, are installed below high fill embankments or steep embankments to prevent the sliding of roadbed slopes or foundations and ensure the stability of the roadbed. At the same time, it can reduce the foot of the filling slope, decrease the amount of filling, reduce land occupation, and protect existing buildings near the line. According to environmental conditions, it can be divided into retaining walls in general areas and retaining walls in flood prone areas.
