Structural form and main technical requirements of Gabion retaining wall

Abstract

Compared with the traditional retaining wall, the Gabion retaining wall has the advantages of good flexibility, strong durability and high strength. In order to better promote the application of Gabion retaining wall in highway engineering, this paper analyses the structure of Gabion retaining wall, put forward the main requirements of common materials of Gabion cage and Gabion fillings; According to the different heights of Gabion retaining walls, the requirements of foundation bearing capacity are put forward. Common foundation treatment methods are proposed for soil, stone and mixed soil and stone foundation. At the same time, the foundation drainage should also meet the corresponding requirements. The research results have been demonstrated on a highway in Guangdong province with good results.
