How to Build a Reinforced Besser Block Retaining Wall

Size: 1.37 MB

Reinforced Besser Block Retaining and Basement Walls consist of a reinforced concrete base which anchors the wall against overturning and sliding, and a stem of Besser blocks. The stem is reinforced with steel bars placed vertically and horizontally, and all cores in the blocks are filled with semi-fluid concrete, known as ‘grout’. The vertical reinforcing bars in the cores are lapped with shorter ‘starter bars’ embedded firmly in the reinforced concrete base using a hob to correctly locate the bars. These short bars allow easier blocklaying, and the longer bars are put in after all blocks are laid and before grouting. The length of the lap is critically important and must be shown on the drawings
